LEARN TO KNIT! GET COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS!
Do you want to learn how to make red knitted caps for babies in the NICU while earning community service hours? Grab your size 8 or 9 knitting needles and join the Knitting Club on Thursday, December 14 in room 120 at 11:30 a.m. when Maggie Walker parent Winnie Brown will be on hand to teach anyone interested. Yarn will be provided for Knitting Club members; all others need to bring $3. See Ms. Sheppard with any questions.
Did you borrow library books for a project, paper, or anthology during the first nine weeks? If you still have them, they are overdue. This week is a GREAT time to return them and check out MORE books for winter break!
Even if you do not have books to return, drop by the library and check out the “MAKE something, COOK something, DO something” display and borrow a book to read over break for either fun or inspiration.
You will find books about tinkering, game design, Chinese Revolutionary Cooking, drawing dragons and manga, painting and collaging, lettering and stamping, book-making, steampunk clay projects, Arduino wearables, Star Wars Origami, crafts from recycled and up-cycled materials, The $100 Startup, and more!
While you are here, browse the book display about Russia and the one featuring books recently added to the library’s collection.
Hope to see you soon!
