Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, March 26, 2015

A new catalogue is coming on March 31. Please see the feature article about our Westerlo Public Library’s new catalog elsewhere in this newspaper for details.

Quilting group

The library’s Quilting Group will meet on Saturday, March 28, at 11 a.m.  Members show and share techniques, gadgets, projects, and ideas. You may get help with problems or inspiration.   This week’s meeting will feature a demonstration of iron-on interfacing to back difficult fabrics such as silk, t-shirts, etc.  Bring any fabric or fiber for example knit, crochet, or weaving projects to show.  We would love to see what you can do. 

Lead by Lila Hollister Smith, the group is open to all crafters who use fibers and textiles at all skill levels. The group meets the second and fourth Saturday of each month and new members are welcomed.

Display case

For the month of March we are displaying Ryan Smith’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collection.  Six-year-old Ryan is in good company collecting TMNT action figures, playsets, and accessories. 

The TMNT are a fictional team of four teenage anthropomorphic turtles, named after four Renaissance artists — Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello — who were trained in the art of ninjutsu.
