June’s Adult Take & Make adult craft kits are now available! Stop by the Information Desk in the Library Rotunda for one to take home with you. We hope you enjoy this month’s craft and have fun.

Worry Dolls are traditional little dolls originally made in the beautiful country of Guatemala. The idea is simple. If at night you find yourself worrying about things (And worries have a habit of bothering you when you are trying to sleep, right?), you tell your worries to these little dolls and place them under your pillow. It is said that the person relinquishes their worries to the dolls during the night and by the next morning, all sorrows are said to have been taken away by the worry doll and the person can move forward, refreshed the next day. Traditional worry dolls are used by both children and adults alike. They are small and made from things like match sticks and scraps of fabric. Nowadays, there are lots of variations on making these bright and colorful dolls. Our versions will be made as folk-art peg dolls. Kits will be available in the Library Rotunda on Tuesday, June 10th, while supplies last. For more information, please contact Yvonne L. at 603-624-6550 ext. 7620 or e-mail [email protected].
Happy crafting!
