Tell City Library Hosts Holiday Quilt Craft Morning for Families
Today, Nov. 22, 2025, the Tell City branch of the Perry County Public Library is hosting a holiday craft morning focused on Christmas tree quilt squares, offering guided activities for a range of skill levels. The event provides a free community space for families and local crafters to gather, practice skills, and connect with the library during the busy holiday season.
The Tell City branch of the Perry County Public Library is holding a holiday craft morning today, Nov. 22, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM at 2328 Tell Street. Listed on the library's Tell City branch page, the program titled Christmas Tree Quilt Squares is presented as a community crafting opportunity aimed at families and local crafters. Attendees can expect guided quilting and craft activities suitable for a broad range of skill levels, with staff encouraging residents to call the library for more information or to reserve a spot at 812 547 2661.
The event demonstrates the continuing role of the public library as a civic hub that provides programming beyond traditional book lending. By offering hands on craft sessions during the holiday season, the Tell City branch is creating informal opportunities for intergenerational interaction, skill sharing, and volunteer involvement. For Perry County residents, such programming helps sustain neighborhood ties and brings additional foot traffic into a public institution that relies on community support and participation.
Community crafting mornings also have practical implications for civic engagement. Regular, accessible programming helps maintain public awareness of library services and can influence community perceptions ahead of budget discussions and public meetings where library funding and policy decisions are considered. Local leaders and library trustees often point to attendance and community interest as indicators of public value when planning future offerings and allocating resources.
The format of the session is designed to accommodate both beginners and more experienced crafters. Participants can work on Christmas tree quilt squares, a project that can be completed during the morning or taken home for finishing. Families are welcome, and the library encourages those interested to call in advance to reserve a place, ensuring organizers can provide materials and space that match demand.
As public institutions adapt to changing community needs, programs like the Tell City craft morning highlight the library's function as a place for practical learning and social connection. Residents who want to participate or learn about upcoming events can contact the Tell City branch directly at 812 547 2661 for details and to reserve a spot.
