Name: This Week In the Lab: Paper Crafts
Start: 2026-09-29T17:00:00.000Z

Location: Main Library

This Week In the Lab: Paper Crafts is a drop-in creative workshop where kids can learn to fold origami and design their own self-published zines. Hosted by the library's STEAM Team, this session lets children express themselves through drawing, writing, and paper folding in a relaxed setting. This activity is free and designed for self-paced creating, making it easy to fit into a busy afternoon. The Innovation Lab is located inside the Main Library in downtown Durham, which offers a dedicated parking lot. While all materials are provided, younger children may need a hand with the folding and cutting steps. It is a smart weekday stop to keep hands busy and minds active after school. You can spend as much or as little time as you need, and everyone leaves with a finished project to show off.
