Community Fiber Arts Show - Opening Reception

We invite the friends, family, and local supporters of those who submitted their works of Fiber Art to join us for an opening reception after-hours at the Library. (The library will be closed to all services). 

Refreshments will be served while the community appreciates the works of its members - from knitting, sewing, crochet, embroidery, cross-stitch, etc., - enjoy the efforts of all ages in sharing their love of the Fiber Arts. Born from our own Fiber Arts group here at the Library, we hope you enjoy the fruits of everyone's labor as much as we do.
