As part of the Rockport Makers' Festival (Dec 15 and 16), the library will be transforming the Brenner Room into a makerspace for crafters of all ages. Type a holiday message on decorative paper to someone you care about. Help build a new mosaic. Using origami techniques, make a gift box. Or, write holiday poems to your friends and family. There's no limit to the activities planned.

Local resident Bob Whalen will also be on-hand from 1:30 - 2:30 pm to show everyone how to make a micro-chapbook. Don't know what that is? Well then, you better come to the makerspace to find out! 

Each maker table will have a separate activity, suitable for all ages, until supplies run out. Join in the holiday maker fun!
