At the library

The only bug you’ll want to catch this winter is Creativebug!

Wellington County Library has a new online resource that is invaluable to any artist, crafter or Pinterest fan. If you’ve tried to find sewing patterns or craft printables, you’ll know that you are often linked to a page that requires you to make a purchase.

With Creativebug, you can search for projects with patterns and tutorials, free of charge with your Wellington County Library card. Watch video tutorials and take classes on topics like ceramics, jewelry making, quilting, cake decorating, and more!

For crafting in the library, check out one of our Cricut cutting machines available at each branch or the sewing machines visiting our Clifford Branch until the end of March and our Palmerston Branch beginning in April.

Bring your own materials and book some time to use these machines for any of your creative projects.  We also welcome you to check out one of these crafty programs happening this month.
