Mother’s Day Madness

Take a look at all of the fun we had at our Mother’s Day programs.  We had a StoryTime all about mom’s and also made Mother’s Day cards.  It was the Mother’s Day motherload!

Crochet 101 for Adults

Want to learn a new craft? 

 Need to brush up on an old skill? 

Want to get a really early start on holiday gifts? 

Denton Public Library is offering a series of classes for adults who never learned to crochet or who learned long ago and just need a little help getting started again.  A basic crochet program for adults will be held at the Emily Fowler Central Library from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on three Tuesdays, May 17, May 24, and May 31.  Mary Cresson will demonstrate basic stitches and how to read patterns, and attendees can choose project patterns from among a scarf, a draw-string bag, and a teddy bear.  Yarns and hooks will be provided for practice, but feel free to bring supplies from your own “stash” if you have one. 

The program is free, but space is limited, so please call to register by May 14.  To register, or for more information, please call 940-349-8752.
