Public Library Teen Activities
Please see below for the listing of teen programs (for ages 12-18) at the Bozeman Public Library this winter. I especially wanted to highlight a program series I'm starting called "Crafting for a Cause" where teens will craft/create projects that will be donated to local partners with the projects also counting as volunteer/community service hours.
December's project will be making no-sew blankets to donate to patients at Bozeman Health through the Bozeman Health Foundation. I'll be hosting a Teen Maker Lab on Dec. 5 from 4-5pm to start out the program, but supplies will also be available in the Teen Corner during the rest of the month to make blankets is teen's can't make the Lab meeting on Dec. 5.
January's Crafting for a Cause will be making pet toys for Heart of the Valley with supplies made available in the Teen Corner.
