Craftstravaganza: 2027 Summer Reading Program Workshop

Mysteries Await at Your Library but how to prepare for Summer Reading does not have to be one of them! The 2027 theme covers mysteries, detective work, exploring, discovery, puzzles, codes, and more. The Craftstravaganza Workshop will explore theme interpretations, reconnoiter decoration ideas, and solve the puzzle of programming for all ages.
