Holiday Craft Books

Yep, it's that time of year again, when experienced crafters know it's not too early to begin those holiday crafts and handmade gifts.  This list includes new and recent books available from Central Library's Fine Arts Room, and includes Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa crafts.   Some will be displayed on the room's display cart during the month of October, and all are available to check out in person at Central or through a "hold" placed for delivery to our branches.  Just do a title search in our catalog.  Enjoy!
