Creation Space
The Creation Space will close May 15, 2025, for construction. Look for some ongoing creative activities at North Community Library and out in the community this summer. We are putting a pause on materials donation to the space until further notice. While the La Crosse Public Library’s Creation Space undergoes renovations, the Franciscan Spirituality Center (FSC) will open the doors of its Clare Art Room, free, to all community members for creative projects and drop-in making.
