Week Calendar

Join us every week for Tots Thursdays! Each week is filled with exciting activities designed to stimulate your child’s development while having a blast! Every month, we rotate through four themes:

Origami Challenge

For those who have never quilled or for those who are experienced, come enjoy making a quilling project or bring one of you own to work on!

Plus: Share ideas and projects you have done.

Interested in knitting or learning how to knit?

Bring your own quilting or other project and get a chance to work on it with like-minded people. They'll even offer advice if asked. Be sure to check out a quilting book from our collection!

Interested in the niche, alternative, underground, or atypical? Welcome to the event just right for you!

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in this creative workshop! Teens and adults are invited to decorate sugar skull (calaveras de azúcar) inspired flower pots, honoring a vibrant tradition from Mexican culture.

The rules are simple--leave a puzzle, take two puzzles!

Do you love painting, drawing, sculpting, or just being creative? Then join us on the 2nd Friday of every month at 2PM to learn about a new art method or material!
