Tell City Library Hosted Holiday Craft Morning, Families Gathered

The Perry County Public Library hosted a Holiday Craft Morning at the Tell City branch on Saturday November 22. The program was led by Jennifer Brown of Glitter & Vinyl Girl and was described on the library events calendar as a family friendly morning of seasonal crafting. Registration details and a fee for the craft were listed on the event page, with contact details provided for participants.

The event appears alongside recurring offerings from the library, including regular storytimes and a December Storytime with Santa scheduled for December 1. Those listings appeared on the library events calendar under PCPL Tell City and provided times, location, and instructions for participants to register through the library website.

Local public library programs like this one play a practical role in Perry County life. They create low cost opportunities for intergenerational interaction, nurture early literacy and fine motor skills through hands on activities, and provide structured time for families to gather during the busy holiday season. For caregivers balancing work and limited childcare, library events can be an accessible source of enrichment and social connection.

At the same time the presence of a required fee for the craft highlights an equity concern. Even modest costs can be a barrier for households already facing financial strain, and reliance on paid programming can shift the burden of sustaining community offerings onto individual families rather than stable public funding. As local officials and library trustees plan future programming, attention to fee waivers, sponsorships, and targeted outreach could help ensure events serve the broadest possible cross section of Perry County residents.
