2012 Deck the Stacks
The Shreve Memorial Library Hamilton/South Caddo's patrons
are at it again. . .decorating the Reading Room with holiday crafts made
from recycled and repurposed materials. Featured in the pictures below
are the "houses" which festoon a winter wonderland "village" and the
lively characters who reside there. Look closely and see bits and pieces
of things which would ordinarily end up in a land fill. The christmas
tree boasts an appetizing aray of decoratively repurposed dried fruits
and spices. Stop by and enjoy an environmental-friendly holiday display
throughout December! Thanks to
Chicks with Sticks, Girl Scout
Troop # 1120, H/SC Baby and Toddlers, H/SC Teens, and the
Adult and Children patrons of H/SC during "Christmas in July," and the
November and December Workshops/Decorating Days. (And thanks
to Paula Prieshoff for organizing the activities!)
