Children ages 6 and older are invited to join Art With a Heart to explore the fabulous art of finger knitting. Yarn made from t-shirts will be used to make a scarf to keep or give to a friend. The session also will focus on how to creatively re-use or "upcycle" t-shirts.
Participants will receive a booklet with more project ideas to try at home.
The first library to serve the neighborhood opened in 1957 as the Emerson Branch. This frame house near East 38th Street and North Emerson Avenue soon became too small to meet the neighborhood's needs, leading to the construction of a 7,500-square-foot branch at the same location in 1962. The Emerson Branch closed its doors in 2003 when the current 16,000-square-foot library opened as the East Thirty-Eighth Street Branch.
