What a fun-filled day at the library! 🎨✨

Yesterday, our crafty crew stayed busy making not one, not two, but three awesome take-home projects! Participants painted wooden keychains etched with summer reading designs (thanks to our friends at the other library for providing them!), upcycled old cassette tapes into one-of-a-kind magnets, and decorated colorful maracas to take home.

There were smiles, creativity, and plenty of glue, paint, and imagination to go around. Thanks to everyone who joined us for an afternoon packed with fun and crafts—we loved seeing all of your unique creations! 💛📚🎶

Special thank you to the Friends of the Walnut Creek Library and the Walnut Creek Library Foundation for sponsoring this event.
