Toss out the rules and make something unusual and cool every month. From upcycled junk shop inspired projects to ductigami, the art of duct tape, you’re bound to discover something awesome.

We want YOUR ideas, young adults. Tell us what you want from your library while you eat, play games, watch movies, listen to music, and meet new people. It’s your library. Own it!
