Hosting Organization(s): Gloucester County Library System
Learners Impacted: 105
On Saturday March 26th in celebration of the 7th annual NJ Makers Day, the Gloucester County Library held an in-person make-and-take style event focused on getting young learners engaged again. It was a great experience for both patrons and staff alike to see kids building and painting the birdhouses we distributed, along with a number of other smaller crafts. Thanks to the mini-grant, they were able to offer this experience to 36 additional young learners by purchasing additional birdhouse materials. Families that attended the event also created their own sunflower key-chains, custom buttons, and took home sunflower seeds from our seed library.
Over the course of four hours we had 60 patrons come in and work with their young ones to build and decorate their birdhouses.
