2020 Lightning Rounds:
Meow-ving Forward with Adult Crafts

Lightning Round Description

Browsing through the library newsletter, you will find adult services programs that include computer classes, genealogy lessons, sewing, 3-D printing and more. Sure, 3-D printing is cool and seniors gobble up the smart phone clinic, but where are the millennials? The Generation X members? How do we get them engaged? Simple adult crafts can lead our community forward by re-engaging adults in the library atmosphere. Adults crave creative play, but for many, it is out of their comfort zone. Building castles, rocket ships, gingerbread houses and more from cardboard, all for patron’s cats is a highly engaging activity that has had incredible success. A simple Google search will tell you how much people love their cats. By capitalizing on people’s love for their animals, you can create a fun, multi-seasonal, budget friendly program that appeals to all generations.
