Stickin' to It!

The Milne Public Library children's room has a new addition for busy hands who love puzzles! Although it is not a typical puzzle, this paint-by-sticker is a collaborative art piece for all ages.


All you'd need to do is add the colored stickers to the squares that match their letters

There are over 3,000 squares to fill, so you can do as many as you want! Fill in a whole section or place them far apart. As more stickers are placed, a picture will be slowly revealed. Can you guess what it will be?

Workshop: Make a Mini- Holiday Tre

Tis' the season to be crafty!


On the evening of Wednesday, December 18th, make a decorative holiday tree with Kira, Adult Services Librarian.


We will make use of our plethora old book pages, wooden beads and other wintery, woodsy materials.  

Space is limited, so register using the link below now!
