Design and paint chairs to be included in the Barrett Branch's Young Adult area. Open to teens ages 12 - 18.

The Barrett Branch has several chairs in need of a makeover. We need you to design and paint these chairs to brighten the library and save the chairs from destruction. 

The first half an hour we'll use to create your pattern or image. Then for the rest of the time, you'll be able to apply your design to one of the actual chairs from the library. Once finished the chairs will be added to the Young Adult area of the library.

Participants might be working individually or in groups as available. 

This could get messy. Please wear clothing you don't mind getting ruined.

Weather permitting, we plan to be outdoors. Otherwise, we be on the second floor of the library. Register to find out the latest information.
