Buffalo & Erie County Public Library

I’m excited to share that I’ve been accepted to participate in Indie Author Day as a local independent author! Join me and a wonderful group of fellow authors for a day celebrating books, creativity, and storytelling. I’ll be at the library throughout the day selling my book, “Critter Tails: You Are Valuable.”
Interested in writing a book of your own? Explore workshops covering writing, publishing, finding an illustrator, and more. Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is requested for those attending workshops.
November 21, 2026 | Maker Faire Rochester

Join us for our first Maker Faire! Help us batch-sew Grow With Me hoodies to donate to WNY Foster Closet, supporting children in transition.

December 11, 2026 | Mom’s Night Out: Holiday Shopping & Fellowship
6–8 p.m.
5216 Bridle Path Lane, Lewiston, NY
Take a little time for yourself this holiday season! Come chat, enjoy snacks, and shop from Christian handmade artisans from across Western New York. It’s an evening of fellowship, fun, and thoughtful holiday shopping with a meaningful purpose.
This year, we’re supporting Lighthouse Ministries’ December 19 Boxes of Love event. Lighthouse Ministries serves women and children in Niagara Falls, New York. Last year, they ran out of gifts for older children and men’s gloves, and we’d love your help filling that gap.
Instead of an entrance fee, please purchase a baked good from our goodie table and/or bring a wrapped gift for a child ages 9–12 or 12–16. Label each gift with the intended age group and “boy,” “girl,” or “neutral.” Donations from the goodie table will go toward purchasing men’s gloves.
