✂️Successful Crafty Adult (and Teens)Class
Our first in-person craft class for both Adults and Teens was such a success we may be repeating it!
Our community members showed up to make animal toys for the dogs and cats in the Williamson County Animal Center – the spirit of giving is thriving in Williamson County. Tying the Summer Reading Program theme of Tails and Tales to promote awareness of the needs of our Animal Center was central to our objective and the turn out was tremendous. It was wonderful to meet new people and work together to benefit all of our county members, even the four-legged ones
First, we used old cotton (cotton blend) t-shirts to cut strips of material and then we braided those strips into dog tug toys of different sizes and colors. We also had supplies on hand to make little cat toys with catnip inside of them. We are lucky to have so many creative community members to help out here at the library and to benefit the Animal Shelter.
Keep an eye out for more information about another session soon.
