University Branch Library Starts “Craft Squad”

People who enjoy crafts are invited to join the new “Craft Squad” at the University Branch Library. Crafters can make new crafty friends, learn a new craft or two, and share tips, tricks, and resources with fellow crafters at this quarterly event, which will take place in June, September, and December.

The first meeting of the Craft Squad will take place on Wednesday, June 26, beginning at 7:00 pm, in Meeting Room 2 of the library. Each meeting will have a different craft theme, and badges can be earned for each new craft that is learned.

In June, earn the “Homemade Stationary” badge by making marbled paper and fancy homemade envelopes, and practice faux calligraphy skills. Feel free to share past experiences with this fun craft and bring examples – the good, the bad, and the not-so-pretty!

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the University Branch Library (281-633-5100) or the library system’s Communications Office (281-633-4734).
