Origami
Learning the ancient art of paper folding is tricky. Complicated folds, such as the "hamburger fold" or the "fold it like a hat" fold, might take a person days to successfully execute, possibly even weeks, on their own. But with the instruction of Youth Librarian Deb Hoskins and a few fancy origami books, these frogs, made by Abigal, 9, and her brother Ethan, 7, were finished in 15 minutes flat.
Sadie, 6, and her sister Olivia, 8, show off their boats 
They later advanced to butterflies
And frogs Erin and Tishana puzzled over their butterflies As did Tess, 10 |
The origami program will also run Wednesday, April 5, at the Madison branch, Thursday, April 6, at Ottawa Hills, Friday, April 7, at West Side, and Saturday, April 8, at West Leonard. Check out the schedule for times and details.

Unfortunately the Librasaurus has gone extinct. We hope his untimely demise was peaceful. We are currently looking for a replacement spokes animal.
