If you have more than one in the same family, you must use a different email address for each participant.
**About the Presenters: Barb Vanaskie is a full-time clinical social worker who has a passion for fiber arts. She has been sewing since the age of seven, and started hemming her school uniforms and making scrunchies to match. She has experience making her own clothes, accessories, quilting, and at one time operated a small business in which she made a variety of baby items. She is excited to share her self-taught skills with the young patrons of the James V. Brown Library.
This program is part of the many ways the James V. Brown Library supports the Pennsylvania Library Association's PA Forward initiative by providing opportunities for both basic literacy and the social and civic literacies of learning.
