We need YOUR HELP labeling and cataloging them so we can get them to the kids! Please join us with your laptop or iPad and we will work together until every book is cataloged. Due to space and instructional constraints, participants must arrive by the start of the activity in order to participate. Questions? Contact Lynne Breslau at straus@comcast.net. SLEEPING MATS FOR THE HOMELESS MLRT Circular Lounge Appropriate for ages 8+ This is a monumental task and we will try to tackle as much as possible! Help by folding and cutting collected plastic grocery bags. The bags will need to be trimmed and cut in half. Then they are knotted together in lengths to create the “plarn.” This is then balled into skeins of “plarn” that will be crocheted to make the mats. Knowing how to crochet is a bonus but it is not necessary in order to participate. Questions? Contact Laura Banchero at lkbfleur@comcast.net.
