Teens are invited to learn a variety of hand sewing stitches, including how to make a buttonhole and sew on a button. Create a felt cord wrap, assemble and decorate a felt charging pouch to keep a phone safely off the floor while it powers up. This makes a great gift!
Attendees also will take home a pattern so they can make more.
What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
