 PROGRAMS TO LOVE
 
Valentine Button Art, February 7, 2:00 p.m. 
An introduction to button art crafts with a Valentine's Day project. Button art allows you to bedazzle almost anything for fun, whimsical, or detailed decor. This easy and fun craft uses buttons, beads, and gems of varying sizes and shapes to create a whimsical heart shaped door hanger. Cover the entire heart with buttons and beads or use scrapbook paper and buttons to create a collage look. Ready made bows will be provided for added flair. We will provide the 11 inch wood heart shape and all other supplies. Colors of buttons and beads include pink, red, white, and purple. Complete your door hanger with ribbon or twine for hanging.
This program is for ages 14 & up.

2026 marks a century of national commemorations of Black history started as a week of recognition by Dr. Carter Woodson and associates. On February 10, 1976, during the United States Bicentennial, President Gerald Ford became the first president to issue a message recognizing Black History Month. Then in 1986, Congress passed a law designating February as Black History Month. For the 100th anniversary we're having a fun, hands-on journey through history.
