The library will partner with Safe Journeys to host a “Crafts and Conversations: Tote Bags and Total Independence” program at noon on Saturday, March 28. Attendees can decorate a tote bag. A discussion on situational awareness and go-bags will also be led by Safe Journeys’ community educator, Grace McCormick. Due to limited materials and space, registration is required.
