New Hartford Public Library Offers ‘Grab & Go’ Projects for Kids
So many parents are looking for simple things to keep their kids entertained this summer now that there's so many restrictions with COVID-19. The New Hartford Public Library wanted to make it a little bit easier for parents, so they created something that could help.
The Grab & Go Bags are weekly crafts for kids. The bags can be picked up on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. You'll just need to let them know a pick-up time and how many of each craft you need based on how many children are in the house.

They ended up dispensing all of the bags that they had made for the week of July 7th and 9th - but have more crafts available for the rest of the summer.
