In recent years the art of crafting and DIY has made a spectacular comeback. Shops featuring vintage and handmade items with a modern twist are popping up in every town. Steampunk and its crafting ideals are also on the rise. If you are looking for something new and exciting to feature in a program, try some of these ideas featured in YALSA's blog. You can create an experience centered around any book with crafts for your kids. Nail art, cross-stitching, or just creating some decorations for Halloween or from book ideas. I think you'll find more enthusiasm for for the library when your audience can get their hands dirty doing it.Sources
