Cumming Library offers Puzzle Piece Hearts craft for adults

Cumming Library will host Puzzle Piece Hearts, an adults-only craft program in the Cumming Meeting Room that repurposes spare puzzle pieces from the library’s Puzzle Exchange into heart-shaped wreaths for Valentine’s Day. The session is scheduled for Saturday, January 31, 2026, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m., and is designed for Forsyth County residents looking for a low-cost, community-centered creative activity.

Admission is free, but capacity is limited. Event passes will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis beginning 30 minutes before the program, so attendees should plan to arrive early to secure a spot. The program targets adult participants, making it a social opportunity tailored to local adults rather than family drop-in craft time.

The Puzzle Exchange element gives the event a sustainability angle by reusing puzzle pieces that might otherwise sit unused. For a local public institution, converting library materials into craft supplies highlights how small-scale reuse can extend the life of everyday objects while keeping program costs low. Free programming like this also provides an affordable leisure option compared with commercial craft studios, which often charge materials fees and higher class prices.

For residents juggling work schedules or childcare, the one-hour window and first-come pass distribution create logistical choices. Arrive early to ensure participation, or contact the branch for guidance on accessibility and alternatives. The listing provides a branch contact email and phone number for questions.

Beyond the immediate craft outcome, Puzzle Piece Hearts serves community goals libraries pursue: building social ties, offering skill-based programming, and making cultural life more inclusive by removing price barriers. For Forsyth County, those benefits are local and tangible—neighbors meet in the meeting room, creative reuse reduces waste, and small events like this help knit the county’s cultural calendar in the weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day.

Residents interested in attending should mark their calendars for January 31 and plan to be at the library by 1:30 p.m. to claim a free pass. If the session fills, contacting the Cumming branch may reveal future opportunities or repeat sessions as demand dictates.
