Welcome to the Abington Public Library
What’s Happening at the Library
Pop Up Art School Dinosaur Painting
Saturday, March 14 @ 2:00 – 3:30.
Kids ages 8 and up are invited to explore their artistic side with an educator from the Pop Up Art School as they create their own unique dinosaur painting! There’s plenty of room for dinosaur lovers to add their own special touches, such as a volcano in the background or a silly hat!
Registration is required and can be done in person or online. We will be using acrylic paint which can stain clothing, so dress appropriately.
This program is funded by The Friends of the Library.
