About this event

Midweek Makers at the Zablocki Library offers a delightful escape for children and families looking to add a splash of creativity to their week. This event provides a variety of materials, from art supplies to building toys like LEGO and Magna Tiles, encouraging kids to explore and create in a welcoming environment.

Held every Wednesday, it's a great opportunity for kids to make new friends and for families to enjoy some quality time together. The library's relaxed atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to unwind after school. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, there's always something new to discover and create.
