Pikes Peak Library District - Ruth Holley Library

Last week Ruth Holley hosted an arts, craft, and hobby material exchange with Who Gives a Scrap. It was a total success with about 114 patrons participating and over 712 pounds of arts and crafts exchanged! Thank you all who participated and thank you Who Gives a Scrap for helping us bring this amazing opportunity to the Ruth Holley community.🎨♻🖌🧶🪡⚾️🏓🪀🪁
