Guest Presentation:
Kiona Millirons presented her programming ideas for Summer 2008. The first program is to recycle men’s ties and sew them into different creatures. The second program is to create personal shrines or altered art out of recycled materials, boxes, photographs etc. John Hilbert (SO) mentioned that he had Kiona do this program for the teens at his library with great success. Kiona shared some books in our library that have examples of this type of art.
