There is so much around us today regarding "going green". I know I recycle as much as I can. The other day I was working with a volunteer in the library. She was interested in re-using trash for creative projects. Turning something into something else instead of throwing it away.
So... I see that some of you are interested in this topic. I know I am. Especially when it comes to inventing stuff from old junk.
I have another volunteer here working at the library who is taking on old, ugly table of mine (I donated it) and decorating it mostly with old magazine pieces and paint. Like a decoupage. We are going to use that table for the Young Adult space that you all will have very, very soon.
In fact, if you are interested in donating old stuff to decorate this new space, let me know. Also, if you would be interested in helping us decorate the place, let me know about that as well.
Our library is holding a cool event on Sat. November 11th from 3-5pm. It's a "Trash to Treasure" workshop. There is a lady that is coming in to teach us how to basically turn trash into treasure. If you are interested in coming, you have to RSVP. So, give us a call at 291-6295.
Also, I found a website that you may want to look into if you are interested in volunteering for "green" projects. Here is the link: http://www.youthbuild.org/site/c.htIRI3PIKoG/b.1223921/k.BD3C/Home.htm
It's called YouthBuild U.S.A.: rebuilding our communities and our lives. I think this would be beneficial for anyone to participate in. You may gain some inventive ideas yourself.
I don't want to bore you out, but here are some "green" competitions that may be of interest to you if you are in to this sort of thing.
The American Museum of Natural History's, Young Naturalist Award.
Don't let the professional titles/words intimidate you. I say... go for it.

That's enough for now. TMI.
