Open Craft Studio Nights at the Library

Escape the snow and create something new! Join us every other Wednesday from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the 糖心直播 Library Fireplace Room for an evening of cozy productivity. Whether you’re a crafting pro or a total beginner, this is your space to de-stress and get creative.

How it works:

• Guided Project: Every session, we will host a featured mini-workshop (like junk journaling or macramé) with all materials provided.
• Open Studio: Prefer to do your own thing? Bring your current project and supplies, or check out equipment from our Library of Things—including sewing machines, a loom, knitting needles, or a calligraphy set.
• Mix & Match: Do both! Start with our guided craft and then move on to your own work!

Dates and featured crafts:

• 2/11: Rice & Lavender Heat Packs
• 2/25: Macrame Jar Lantern
• 3/11: Darning & Patchwork
• 3/25: Handmade Books
• 4/8: Found Poetry & Collage Art
• 4/22: Junk Journaling

Whether you’re looking to master a new skill or just need a warm place to finish that scarf you started last semester, this space is for you. We provide the atmosphere and the tools—you provide the creativity.

• Faculty can access advanced titles for developing curriculum
• Patrons can explore unique interests not represented in local collections
• Readers can continue reading a series we don’t have room to house on our shelves
• Staff can acquire multiple copies of professional development books for reading groups

• We can easily and efficiently borrow and lend to neighboring libraries, like Traverse Area District Library

MeL also provides electronic database access to all Michigan residents, including:
