Knit Graffiti
Do you like crafting with your hands? Do you knit, crochet, or make other fiber arts? Would you like to show that work off in a public, community wide crafting display? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, consider participating in Watertown Free Public Library’s first ever Knit Graffiti project!

Collective Memory Initiative
The act of preserving and chronicling history is a core and vital function of libraries. WFPL is, therefore, establishing the COVID-19 Collective Memory Initiative to gather and preserve the experiences, thoughts, and writings of Watertown residents as we live through this historic time. Collecting testimonies about how COVID-19 has effected the community will give future generations primary source materials to understand our world, while strengthening our town’s solidarity in the present.
