libraries - a weath of crafty ideas

I love visiting my local libraries. They have some different books in each library. The largest library in town has a wealth of craft books. I like to make collage pictures with my class of children. My learning support assistant gave me a box full of craft materials. I like the lolly sticks and colorful balls. I hope that you are finding some great books at the library for all your craft projects.

I check the crafts books out at the library every 2 weeks. It is really handy to learn new techniques. I enjoy all sorts of crafts including collage, crochet, card-making,embroidery etc. I don't like to follow the patterns or projects in the books, but I like to see how things are done so that I can use the techniques to design my own stuff.

Hi cher, we have a good and well stocked library here too and we need only to pay a minimal fee to be a member and we can borrow up to 4 books at any one time for a duration of 2 weeks. I normally go for cooking and baking books as this is my greatest passion.

Morning, cher913....you are truly blessed having a Library close to you! I live on a small Island, for a while we had a "Mobile Library", a van that arrived full of books, every two weeks...so they choice was NOT large. Now, we do have a SMALL library, I support it with a membership, but it is also 5 miles away, and my selection for crafts is just as good on the internet! And I cannot tell a lie, I have a huge library of my own...books are something I have always gathered & saved.Have a great day...and Cheers!

Hi Cher,I love to go to the library and just sit there and read. I love the smell there and the peacefulness there. I have to honestly say, that I have never even thought to look up a book in the craft section. I am not too sure why, I guess I never really thought to. I love doing crafts of different kinds from creating gift boxes, sewing, quilting, wood burning, working with clay and pottery as well as anything else I can find to try. Recently I have started some Native American crafting too. I will now have to go to my local library and see what crafting books are available there. Just to let you know, you may have created a crafting monster here!:)

I really haven't been to the library in quite some time. I used to go more when the kids were home but now I don't have the time to go.....although I did donate some books a few months back to their used book store....but I never thought of going there to get craft patterns etc.....that's a very good idea.

I sure don't visit the library to get new craft ideas. It's a good way to research anything new out there. You have a good idea here. I'm not much interested in doing anything other than working with plastic canvas projects. I find it to be so relaxing and I can watch television at the same time especially if the stitches are repetitive.

I have not being to the library in awhile, but they do have excellent craft book. My library is not close to my house,and when I took books out I always forgot to return them in a timely manner. After having to pay several fees, I just stop going.

I don't go there for crafting ideas but I do go there often for other things. We get movies there, we get videos for my youngest son, my older son gets video games there. I get books for research for my articles that I write, and cookbooks and things like that. I am not much of a crafter but we do use the library very frequently for many different things.

I don't go to the library as often as I used to, but I do like the craft section of our downtown library - it has lots of great craft ideas books and knitting pattern books.
