Thank you for crafting with us! All of the current Take and Make kits at TCPL have been claimed and are unavailable at this time. We're putting together a new Take and Make kit that will be available sometime in July. Any questions or comments, please contact Joah Tang, Library Assistant, by email at jtang@tcpl.org.

Use the power of the sun to take a photo!

These free Take and Make kits contain a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math)-based craft that families can work on together. With this kit families can harness the power of the sun's UV light to take a photo! The Sun Prints kit also includes a fun video provided by the Cornell Center for Materials Research.

While supplies last, families can pick up a kit at one of two locations. Beginning Wednesday, July 21, kits will be available at TCPL during open hours. When using curbside pickup, please indicate your interest in a kit when you call to notify us of your arrival. If you're browsing in the library, simply pick one up in the lobby area. Please contact Library Assistant Joah Tang with any questions at jtang@tcpl.org.

Starting Wednesday, June 21, kits can also be picked up at the Sciencenter front desk, at 601 First Street in Ithaca, Wednesday-Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm and Sunday from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. The Sciencenter is also offering several of the previous Take and Make kits. Contact Annie Gordon with any questions at agordon@sciencenter.org.

Please be aware that supplies are limited and we cannot guarantee there will be kids available at either location.
