Craft Club (Wall Hanging)

February is the “Month of Love” or so some say. And you’ll love this wall hanging! Create special holiday decor or something you’ll like to see all year long, the decision is yours.

Why should you craft?

Crafting can be much more than just a hobby – it can prove to be a therapeutic exercise to improve mental health, and an outlet for creativity.

A recent article from PsychCentral lists the mental health benefits crafters experience, including improved:

• Empathy
• Mood
• Quality of Life
• Resilience
• Self-Esteem

In addition to these benefits, crafting is also thought to offset the symptoms of disorders such as anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and even schizophrenia.

So what are you waiting for? Come to our DeRidder Branch and partake in a relaxing craft. And remember: Library programs are always free!
