The Princeton Environmental Film Festival is just over a month away, and the library is already gearing up with some excellent programming to compliment the screenings and discussions taking place.
They are excited to announce the first ever PEFF Trashion Show on Saturday, March 28th at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Princeton Public Library.
Would you like a chance to design an outfit and walk the red carpet?
All students, 3rd grade through college, are welcome to submit and model original fashion designs created from any items that would otherwise have been discarded or recycled.
Walk that red carpet in an outfit made from... trash! Well, recyclables anyway! And we are offering some design help in creating your outfit this month, with two workshops lead by Princeton Day School teacher Olivia Rutigliano. The workshops are intended for children, teens and college students.
Workshop Dates: Saturday Feb. 21 at 2 p.m. and Saturday Feb. 28 at 10:30 a.m. in the Princeton Public Library.
