Dearborn Library SparkLab

Where can I find inspiration for SparkLab projects?

Dearborn Public Library cardholders can take crafting classes through Creativebug or with Craftsy using the hoopla app. Creativebug classes available can be found in the library catalog by searching “creativebug.com”  Craftsy classes can be found after setting up a hoopla account and then searching for “Craftsy.”

The SparkLab maintains curated boards on Pinterest.  Visit and/or follow @dearbornsparklab.
