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.
Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
