MakerSpace
Moment

June 2024

It's time to adventure at your library! This summer we are going to explore some traditional crafts from around the world.


First up is paper beads which are popular in modern day Uganda and Kenya, and have a history tracing back to Victorian England as mentioned in last month's newsletter. The next set of programs will be decoupage which experienced the height of it's popularity in 17th & 18th century France. Then we are "traveling" to Japan to learn Sashiko from Japan Outreach Initiative Coordinator Satoyo. Sashiko is a traditional form of embroidery that is both decorative and functional.


These are just what the MakerSpace is hosting here in June, checkout our calendar to see what other departments and branches are doing and to see what July has to offer.

New Month Heads Up

CyberCamp

Defiance College is hosting a CyberCamp for 7-12th graders to help teach cyber security and cyber ethics to better prepare participants for future STEM jobs. Basic computer/internet experience can be helpful, but no prior knowledge is required. This program is designed by the Air Force Association and presented by the National Museum of the United States Air Force, to teach middle and high school students how to be safe when using the internet.

This camp will run July 8-12 from 12-5 pm. Registration ends June 3rd.
