Love to create? The Fond du Lac Public Library is introducing a new art experience in July to complement its slate of crafty programs.

Hands-On History is perfect for individuals who have an interest in history as well as making. On Thursday, July 25 at 6 p.m., join library staff in the McLane Room to create your own bit of history during the first installment of the new series. View the library’s historic postcard collection, then create a postcard art that will tell its own story. No special skills necessary; registration will be open July 11 to 21 (or until the program is full).

Other events planned this month include:

• Revel in campy and tacky art during Bad Art Night on Monday, July 1 at 6 p.m. in the McLane Room. This month, the theme is Cat Scratch Art. All supplies will be provided; register now at calendar.fdlpl.org.
• Join library staff Monday, July 8 at 6 p.m. in the McLane Room to create Sand Bottles during Evening Craft Class. All supplies will be provided. Register now at calendar.fdlpl.org.
• Need new supplies to feed your at-home crafting itch? Drop into the library on Saturday, July 20 from 10 to 11 a.m. in the McLane Room for a Craft Swap. Items may be donated to the swap July 8 to 18 at the library’s Help Desk, but anyone may attend the pick-up event on July 20.
