Wednesday, June 28th is Tie Dye Day!

Drop-in between 3:30-5:00 pm

Have an old, dusty t-shirt hanging around? A boring tote bag that’s desperate for an upgrade?? Bring it to the library on Wednesday, June 28th for a few hours of collective tie dying madness! We’ll breathe new life into our old linens, and have an awful lot of fun in the process. No registration required, just drop right in.

We encourage you to bring your own item to dye. The library will only have a few extra tees/totes, but supplies and sizes will be limited. Also, keep in mind children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
