The Mill Creek Library is hosting a 'Paint PawArty' event where participants can paint portraits of real shelter pets.

All materials will be provided, and a cat or kittens may be present during the event for added inspiration.

Why it matters

By engaging the community through an artistic and interactive experience, the library hopes to connect potential adopters with homeless pets in need of loving homes.
