Winter Solstice Lantern Making, Grades 6-12

Join us for a hands-on craft workshop celebrating the winter solstice. Middle and high school students will create their own lanterns during this hour-long session at the library. It's a great way to engage with the season and make something beautiful during the year's darkest days. Whether you keep your lantern for yourself or bring it along to Hillsborough's annual Solstice walk on the Riverwalk, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind creation. Registration is encouraged but not required, so you can sign up ahead of time or just drop in. Please know that photos may be taken during the event for the library's website and social media—just let staff know if you'd prefer not to be photographed. This is a great low-key activity for teens looking for a creative way to celebrate the season.
