It's KNIT A SQUARE again! February is a wonderful time to open our hearts and give. Together the Adult, Teen and Children departments invite you to participate in this month-long program. At its heart, Knit A Square is a simple knitting for charity project. During the month of February, we will be collecting 8-inch squares. Every square collected will be sent to South Africa to be used in making a blanket to keep an orphan or abandoned child warm. KNIT A SQUARE! MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Not a knitter? We welcome ca$h donations to defray shipping costs. Information is available at both the Adult and Children's circulation desks.
