The library is open and we've loved seeing you as you browse and borrow from our collection of books and movies. However, a library is so much more than that! We know that a huge part of a library is enrichment. One very healthy form of enrichment comes from being creative. Well, we've got you covered! Because we can't offer in person craft programs like we usually would, Barrington Area Library is now offering Take and Make Project Kits for adults!

Currently in our kits are all the supplies you need to make Tissue Paper Flower Wreaths; a perfect project for the fall! The project is simple enough that you don't need librarian assistance to get your craft on! Inside your kit, you'll receive an embroidery hoop, tissue paper, pipe cleaners, ribbon and a decorative leaf.  All you need to provide is a pair of scissors and a ruler! Detailed instructions are also packed inside, so there's no guess work! Once you're done with your wreath, share it with us via social media! We'd love to see what you created!

To pick up your Take and Make Project, just ask one of our friendly staff members to grab one for you. Kits are available while supplies last and are first come, first serve. They're also available via Parking Lot Pick-Up, so long as you ask for one when you pull up to pick up your books. Want to make it a family craft night? That's great! Ask for as many as you need. We hope you enjoy crafting with us from afar!
