We look forward to creating and sharing with you!

In a quiet corner of the town, a new space for imagination begins to stir. A place of creativity where tiny worlds are brought to life with brush, color, and care. Within these library walls, a new kind of gathering is forming.

Here, ideas are shared, stories are shaped, and miniature figures come to life through the hands of makers and dreamers. The Miniature Wargaming Club begins July 1st—a space for painting, playing, and connecting with others who love to create.
