Program Description

Summer Reading Activities

Summer Reading Activities are "extras" - programs, presentations, and special events hosted by the library - designed to complement the reading goals of our annual summer reading challenges.  Participating in these special programs earns additional badges in Beanstack and additional tickets for the ticket drawing prizes!

For Secret Code Word activities, be sure to look for the sign with the secret code word or ask a library staff member during the program!


Meet Tiger!

Tiger is our Summer Reading Activity mascot!  Any time you see Tiger on something advertising a Read, Renew, Repeat event or program, it means that event will give you additional badges and tickets!  

A cartoon tiger is standing on his hind legs.  He is wearing a t-shirt and a ball cap and holding a shovel.

 

 

Event Details

Put that old shirt to new use!

Earn tickets and learn a new skill during this fun-filled, no-sew t-shirt tote bag workshop!  Learn how to transform ordinary t-shirts into stylish and eco-friendly tote bags without the need for any sewing. Through simple techniques like cutting and knotting, you can unleash your imagination, get hands-on, express your creativity, and learn about upcycling in a playful and engaging way.  If you have an old t-shirt you would like to turn into a tote bag, bring it with you!  Shirts will be provided for anyone without one.

Join us for crafting, laughter, and sustainable fun!

 

Participants will be using sharp sewing scissors to complete their tote bags.  Children under 10 should have adult supervision or assistance during the workshop.

 


Attend this workshop to earn your "It's a Brand New Bag" badge!
