Celebrate Women’s History Month with a Fun, Educational Craft Every Sunday!

We are celebrating Women’s History Month in March with a fun craft each week during Sunday Fun Days, which is every Sunday in the Storytime Room from 2 to 4 p.m. and open to all ages! We are recognizing the significant contributions made by women each week, so come check them out!

No registration needed—just drop in and join the fun!

March 9: Sunday Fun Day: Yayoi Kusama Mushroom Collages
We will honor one of the most influential female artists in the world, Yayoi Kusama. Let’s create colorful collages inspired by her series of mushroom paintings!

March 16: Sunday Fun Day: Popsicle Stick Airplanes
We’re honoring Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Known for breaking barriers and opening doors for women in aviation, she remains an inspiring figure. Let’s celebrate her legacy by creating fun popsicle stick airplanes!

March 23: Sunday Fun Day: Q-Tip Dinosaur Bones
Honoring Mary Anning, a trailblazing paleontologist and fossil collector who made the groundbreaking discovery of the first scientifically described plesiosaur. At a time when women were excluded from the scientific community, her fearless contributions forever changed our understanding of the natural world. Today, let’s celebrate her legacy by creating our own dinosaur bones using Q-tips!

March 30: Sunday Fun Day: Marie Curie X-Ray Vision Hands
In recognition of one of the world's most famous scientists, Marie Curie, who is notably associated with X-rays for her groundbreaking contributions during World War I, including the development of mobile X-ray units.
Our activity will be a fun blend of craft and STEM! We’ll create X-ray hands and use oil to make the bones appear translucent when placed on a sunny window—see-through X-ray vision in action!
