MARION — This fall, the Elizabeth Taber Library will team up with Creative Bug to offer resources for crafts, and is working to expand its collection through local bookshops. 

The online platform provides access to thousands of online art and craft and classes taught over video. Through a partnership with the library it will offer community crafting programs for kids, teens and adults. 

The Elizabeth Taber Library is working to purchase books from independent bookshops and black-owned businesses. Patrons with recommendations for shops and businesses can email them to ETLibrary@sailsinc.org.
