Stop by anytime between 2pm and 3:30 pm to create your own whimsical and wonderful kinetic sculptures and learn about slider mechanism. Sponsored by Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.

Cranky Contraptions are kinetic sculptures that animate a character or scene when the handle is turned. These tiny automata are powered by a simple crank slider mechanism which provides basic motion.
