ANNISTON, AL — The Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County will host a Kid’s Crafternoon on Wednesday, June 17, at 4 p.m. at the library, located at 108 E. 10th Street in Anniston. The event will give children an opportunity to create mini cross stitch projects while learning a traditional crafting skill.
Cross stitch is a beginner-friendly form of embroidery that uses simple X-shaped stitches to create designs and patterns. Activities such as cross stitching can help children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, patience, concentration, and creative problem-solving while providing a fun and relaxing artistic outlet.
According to event information, the program is open to young participants and is part of the library’s ongoing schedule of educational and creative activities offered throughout the year. The Public Library of Anniston-Calhoun County regularly hosts crafts, reading programs, workshops, and special events designed to encourage learning and community engagement for residents of all ages.
Library officials encourage families to explore the wide variety of free and low-cost programs available at libraries across Calhoun County, which provide opportunities for children to learn new skills, discover hobbies, and connect with others in the community.
