Stop by anytime between 2pm and 3:30 pm to create your own whimsical and wonderful kinetic sculptures and learn about slider mechanism.

Cranky Contraptions are kinetic sculptures that animate a character or scene when the handle is turned. These tiny automata are powered by a simple crank slider mechanism which provides basic motion.

Allow 30 minutes. 

While supplies last.

Recommended age: 5 to 12. Parents/caregivers must accompany children under the age of 12 during the program.

Co-sponsored by Friends of the Library.
