We Love Crafts! (And Libraries!)

by Ellen Griffin Shade, Avondale Regional Branch Library


At Avondale Regional Branch Library, crafts aren’t just for kids! We have arts and crafts programs for grown-ups every Wednesday at 2:00 p.m., and we’re celebrating our love of crafts with a month of valentine projects. All adults are welcome! Programs are free but space is limited, so call 226-4000 or register online through the Birmingham Public Library events calendar.
