Kids get crafty for Thanksgiving at CCPL

The Clark County library is helping local youth get ready for the holidays with seasonal projects in its Tuesday afternoon Get Crafty program. Every Tuesday, families can unwind and get creative at the library after a full day of school. With Thanksgiving approaching, the kids made turkey magnets today and will make placemats next week. Beyond Get Crafty, the library offers family activities throughout the week, including story time for toddlers, a teen and tween pumpkin pie decorating competition, and cookie decorating for Santa’s visit. One of the best features of these programs is their come-and-go format, which lets families stop by at their leisure. For library employees, watching kids relax and bond through these activities is the best part of the job. Lexi Garza, who works with the youth department, said, “I love working with the youth and creating things together.” Four-year-old Rylee, who attends every Tuesday afternoon, shares that enthusiasm.
