By APRIL ARNDT | Ontario Public Library director

Help us celebrate #makermay by signing up for a FREE Creativebug account during May! By signing up for Creativebug for free with your library card, you can enjoy unlimited access to over 1,000 online art and craft classes, plus patterns, templates, and recipes. Topics include art and design, sewing, quilting, paper crafts, knitting, crochet, food & home, jewelry, holiday and party, and classes for kids.

Watch classes anytime, anywhere — and since classes never expire, you can start and stop projects at your own pace! Go to ontariolibrary.wrlsweb.org and click on the Creativebug logo on the home page to get started. Sign up in May and be entered in a drawing for an amazing kit that contains a variety of art supplies, including a dot journal and embroidery hoop!
