A salty craft-a-long

The Friends of the Wareham Free Library are sponsoring a free summer drop-in “crafter-noon” for tweens and teens to create their own make-and-take project.

No registration is required. The program will run from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Spinney location of the Wareham Free Library, 259 Onset Avenue.
