Everything you need to try a new craft or spend time with a favorite
 
Now available for check out! Judging by the overwhelming popularity of our crafting programs, FRVPLD patrons are a creative bunch! So we put together these Craft Kits so you can try something new and see if you like it without having to purchase everything you need first.
 
Each kit comes with the tools needed as well as a supply of consumables (like paper or yarn) that will be replenished for each new check out. Craft Kit loan period is one week, and can be checked out from the Information Desk at the Dundee Library.
