The Children's Department has always welcomed readers ... and now ... knitters! Our Learn to Knit club for kids in grades 1 to 6 is one of our favorite activities of the week.
We meet Mondays at 3:30 p.m. in the Carol Pieper Book Nook in the Children's Department.
Last week we had 17 participants, mostly beginners, and 2 wonderful volunteers. As we learn about yarn, needles, and basic knitting stitches, we're also seeing the children develop coordination, motor skills, and problem solving.
We're still looking for a few more adult volunteers to teach basic knitting skills. Please call the Children's Department at 385-4165 if you are interested in joining us on Mondays.
