Happy Fiber Finish Friday!

This is where we show off all the incredible projects our Needles, Hooks, & Books fiber group has completed during the week.

Our speedy crocheter, Abir, put the finishing touches on not one, but two blankets this week. The recipients will be toasty warm this winter season.

New knitter, Rachel, finished her very first washcloth! Way to go!

Needles, Hooks, & Books is a crafting group for adults ages 18+ that meets every Thursday evening from 6-7:30 pm in the Library Meeting Room. If you're a fiber fanatic, or just starting out, drop by on a Thursday evening and check it out. The members are very friendly and always willing to offer assistance.

For questions, please call the Library at 313-381-2425.

It’s a beautiful day for a DDA Farmer’s Market!

Stop by from 3-7 pm tonight to sign up for Summer Reading and get an activity Kit for the weekend.

Make sure to check out all the fabulous vendors. The Pierogi Lady is one of our favorites…but 🤫 or there won’t be any left for us. 🫤
