Community Calendar

Join us Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 12-4 PM for Pet Adoption Day at Detroit Artists Market, in partnership with Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit.

Guests can meet adoptable pets, talk with rescue volunteers, and learn more about the many ways animals show up in our lives, our artwork, and in the communities around us.

Whether you’re looking for a new companion, thinking about fostering, or just stopping by to support, we’d love to welcome you.

Learn more about Leader Dogs for the Blind and how their guide dog program helps people build confidence, independence, and mobility.

Since 1939, Leader Dogs has supported clients through personalized training, thoughtful guide dog matching, and instruction shaped around each person’s goals and daily life.

Guests will get a closer look at their work, ask questions, and better understand their impact on individuals, families, and communities.

A community craft supply swap day for all ages. This drop-in event is first come, first serve, and we invite attendees to enjoy some hot chocolate with us! Dairy-free options and tea will be available too.

Come discover a new hobby as you declutter!

Our ground rules are:

1) Items must be in usable condition and clean - if it’s good condition, like what you’d give to a friend, that’s what we’re looking for!
2) No one has to bring things to participate
3) Folks looking to declutter can bring more than one craft supply or item, as long as they meet the Ground Rules description
4) We ask attendees to be respectful and only take one carrying trip’s worth of craft supplies - what you or a helping friend can carry in one trip
5) Leftover unclaimed craft supplies will be donated to the library or to local charities
Pick a new hobby or share a favorite! No registration required.
