Summer 2028: Craft Your Own Story

Crafting and creating transform imagination into something tangible. Through books, programs, makerspaces, and creative tools, libraries foster innovation, curiosity, artistry, and self-expression for everyone. From writing and knitting to 3D printing and woodworking, making connects us with others and ourselves while giving shape to our unique visions of the world. In an increasingly digital environment, many people are returning to hands-on, analog activities as a way to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with the satisfaction of experiencing something meaningful. With iREAD 2028, we celebrate both the art we create and the restorative act of creating itself.
