GIVE or TAKE

The Knitting Circle at the Town of Johnsburg Library is hosting a material
“swap” on Saturday, August 27, 2016, 9:15- 10:15 am (setting up at 9:15). Bring in anything from small amounts of yarn to projects you no longer want, extra equipment (including knitting needles of any size or shape) and crochet hooks, markers, and guide cards. Clean out that unused stash! Bring an extra bag to bring home new materials for that next project, or those little odds and ends you need for granny squares or striped work. If you bring it in and it doesn’t find a new home, we ask that you take it back. 

Coffee, tea, and a snack will be available.

If you have nothing to bring to the “swap” – no problem! Bring yourself and feel
free to bring home a new project. We’re looking forward to meeting others who
like working with fibers. So those of you who crochet are welcome too.

This is our 3’rd Annual GIVE or TAKE. We had so much fun with the last two and we were able to meet so many who knit but can’t always join us at the library on Thursdays from 2:30- 4-pm.

We decided to host another, hope to see you there!

PuppeTree Returns!

Our Children’s Program for the week is PuppeTree from 10:30-11:30 am on Wednesday (August 3rd).

                                                                                                   

The PuppeTree’s mission is to promote an appreciation of the performing arts, with an emphasis on children’s theater and puppets, among diverse audiences. These audiences include-but are not limited to-school age children, special needs children, at-risk youth, senior citizens and intergenerational groups, other adults and underserved communities. Through Artist-in-Residence programs, The PuppeTree, which is registered as a Juried Artist with the Vermont Arts Council, creates the opportunity for these groups to become active participants in all aspects of theater arts. The PuppeTree enlists members of the audience to become performers and puppeteers. They are also involved in script development, building the scenery and puppets. We refer to this unique method of enlisting audiences in the dynamics of a production by saying “YOUR GROUP IS THE TROUPE “™.
