Craft & Connect is a free, drop-in art workshop designed specifically for teenagers to socialize and make projects together. Hosted in the children's programming room, the library provides all the necessary art supplies for a simple, self-directed project that requires no prior artistic experience. This event is best suited for middle and high school students looking for a low-pressure weekday activity. The program is entirely free to attend, and you do not need to register in advance. Parking is available in the main library lot off Milton Road, and teens can simply show up ready to create. It is a reliable option for parents looking to transition their teens into the weekend with a productive, screen-free social outlet. The library setting offers a safe, supervised environment where older kids can connect with peers from other local schools.
