BAPL’s second annual Fall for Your Library craft fair takes place this Saturday, October 14 at 11 AM.  “We have fourteen (14) vendors registered to participate in our fair, selling a wide range of unique crafts.  There will surely be something for everyone at this year’s event,” states BAPL’s Marketing and Adult Programming Coordinator, Janelle Nolan.  “We hope with each passing year, that this fair will grow through our vendor involvement and local support from our community.”

Items that individuals can find when the doors open at 11 AM include hand-crafted wooden bowls, adorable amigurumi crocheted animals, bohemian home décor, handmade jewelry, Christmas décor and crafts, as well as homemade candles and crocheted beanie caps and blankets.  BAPL’s Teen Book Club will also be selling prints, bookmarks, and note cards to help raise much-needed funds to finance the organization’s activities.

“We recommend that the public visits the sale early to get ‘first dibs’ while the craft selection is at its peak,” jokes Nolan.  “The forecasted rainy weather for Saturday makes our library’s fair the perfect place to be to enjoy some shopping for the upcoming holiday season and visit with others attending our event.”  This event provides free admission as well as free parking.

The public is also invited to join the library on Monday, October 16 at 6 PM for BAPL’s Annual Report to the Community.   Learn how our community library connects people of all ages with the free services they need. Whether it’s their favorite book or movie, computer access, job help, or engaging programs BAPL is here for library users in our community. “We provide a safe, inclusive, and accessible community-centered library that is free to the public and empowers its residents’ personal, educational, and professional growth through our collection, programs, and services,” states Rebecca Feightner, BAPL’s Executive Director.  Light refreshments will be available following this annual event.
