Join us on the Library Plaza for crafting fun. Make new friends and start/finish new projects. Don't forget to bring something for show-and-tell! Amazing projects, news, and tips: Please plan to join us at 11 am for this special project!! I'm still selling Purl tee shirts. Bring cash or check made out to the Hoover Library.

FACEBOOK CHALLENGE: For everyone posting pictures on Purl on the Plaza's Facebook page of works-in-progress, finished projects, or door prizes won at Purl, there will be a secret drawing for a gift certificate to East 59 Cafe! Please post! No limits to how many you can share. Please consider joining the Greater Birmingham Fiber Guild which meets prior to the Purl on the Plaza, 2nd Saturday of each month. They have fabulous workshops and demonstrations! They meet from 10 am to 2 pm at the Hoover Church of Christ, 3248 Lorna Road, Birmingham, Alabama 35216 (map). Dues are just $25/year. Check out their blog here. In January, I will have quite a few books that have been deleted from the library collection. There are SO many great knitting, crochet, quilting and embroidery books that I am sure will start your 2020 project list off right! They'll be on sale for $1 for paperbacks and $2 for hardbacks. All proceeds go to the Hoover Friends, benefiting the Library. Bring your book bags so you can haul them home!
