Children ages 6 and older are invited to join Art With a Heart to explore the fabulous art of finger knitting. Yarn made from t-shirts will be used to make a scarf to keep or give to a friend. The session also will focus on how to creatively re-use or "upcycle" t-shirts.
Participants will receive a booklet with more project ideas to try at home.
What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
