Week Calendar

Come Join us after Storytime at Howe to make small Play Doh art on National Play Doh Day!

[For ages 18+] Are you a fiber crafter? Does your family have all the hand knitted or crocheted hats, scarves, mittens, or shawls that they could possibly use in this lifetime?

Join Assemblymember Gabriella A. Romero & the Albany Public Library for a color powder party celebrating our Color Our World Summer Reading program coming to a close. 

In this series of collage classes, we will be creating collages on blocks, boxes, containers and canvasses. All materials will be provided, but students will have the option of bringing personal photos.

[Adults] Caregivers, stop in with your group for various activities for all abilities. Crafts, Legos, quiet time, coloring, movies... there's no limit to the fun we'll have! Call 518-427-4300 ext.

[Adults 18+] We welcome any kind of knitting, crocheting, quilting or needlework. Is it a hobby that you enjoyed in the past and would like to get back to? You can bring a project that you’re working on, or one that you want to start.
