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.
The Southport Branch began in 1967 as a small storefront in the Madison Square Shopping Center. Following acquisition of a site for a larger facility, the new 15,700-square-foot library opened in 1974 on East Stop 11 Road. Even before the move occurred, a group of Perry Township residents demonstrated support by raising more than $5,000 to provide additional books for the new library.
