Celebrate the decade our library was founded! Step back into the 70s and take a look at what life — and reading — looked like when it all began. Join us for a tie-die craft so things can really get out of sight.

  • Tuesday, April 14: Totally Rad (1980s Day) 

Break out the neon and BIG energy as we highlight the 80s with trivia and nostalgic favorites from the era. Put your stamp on your wardrobe by creating your own button. Totally tubular!

  • Wednesday, April 15: Throwback Tales (1990s Day) 

Relive the 90s with a celebration of Hollywood history! Craft a collage so representative that everyone will think you're a time traveler! It'll be all that and a bag of chips.

  • Thursday, April 16: Y2K & Beyond (2000s Day) 

Take it back to the early 2000s with a look at the possibilities that shape our new future! Bling and bedazzle your way through a craft. It'll be off the chain.
