Teen Program: Design a Mug

Teens, you can design a mug of your own using the library’s Cricut machine at the second Teen Program in November! This free program will be held on Thanksgiving weekend: Saturday, November 29, 1:30-3:30 p.m. You’ll start with a blank white mug and create a design you’ll transfer to it. It will be yours to keep or gift! One per person.

For ages 11-18. Free. No need to sign up.

Kids Crafting

Kids are invited to the library on Tuesday, December 30th to enjoy some creative crafting. We will be bringing out our craft supplies, and youth are invited to come and create whatever they desire using the materials provided. This program is geared for kids in grades K-4th, however siblings are always welcome. Those 8 and under must have an adult/teen caregiver along. 

Carnegie History

The Litchfield Public Library was originally a Carnegie Library. Although the library is now in a new building, that history is reflected in the painting of the original library in the lobby, and the Carnegie meeting room. Across the street, you can read about the history of the library on a bench installed by the Downtown Council.
