The Leduc Public Library in Leduc, Alberta, is hosting a Craft Cafe on March 12, 2026, to give local students in grades 7 to 12 a dedicated space to socialize and express their creativity. This evening program provides youth with a supervised environment where they can work on art projects while enjoying refreshments.
Participants at the event will have access to a variety of art supplies to work on their own designs. The library is also providing hot chocolate and pastries for the teens to enjoy while they create and talk with their peers.
As of March 10, 2026, the program has proven to be popular with local families, with only one registration spot remaining. This high level of interest comes as the library works to grow its reach and provide more social activities for older students in the community.
While the library sees a high volume of traffic for children’s programs, teen-focused events currently make up a smaller portion of overall attendance. Recent library data shows that teen programs accounted for 351 visits compared to over 13,000 visits for children’s activities, making the success of the Craft Cafe a key part of the library’s outreach efforts.
