Celebrate Dot Day with a colorful, creative craft at the library!

Celebrate International Dot Day at the library! Inspired by the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, Dot Day aims to encourage children to embrace creativity. Families can drop by the Children's department anytime to make their very own polka dot flowers using patterned paper. Kids will cut out shapes and glue their creations together to create a unique masterpiece. This craft is available all day while supplies last. 

Want to read The Dot or explore more inspiring stories? Check out books by Peter H. Reynolds through PINES!

No registration required and all supplies will be provided. Stop by and let your creativity bloom!
