Make Your Own Pride Parade Sign is a drop-in crafting workshop hosted in the library's third-floor Innovation Lab. The library staff provides all the poster boards, markers, and decorating supplies, so you can leave your own art bin at home and avoid the cleanup. This free activity is best suited for preschoolers through teens who can handle basic art tools. The Innovation Lab is located at the Main Library on Roxboro Street, which offers a free parking deck for visitors. You do not need to register in advance, making it easy to fit between morning naps and lunchtime. It is a smart weekday stop because it builds anticipation for the weekend parade at Duke's East Campus. Your kids will feel a sense of ownership when they carry their handmade creations to the main event on Saturday.
