Earth Day craft at Sinclairville Library Thursday evening

There will be an Earth Day craft for ages 8 and up at Sinclairville Free Library Thursday at 6:30 p.m. Children will learn how to make a sturdy tote out of recycled plastic grocery bags, and learn to make "plarn" by cutting the bags, then crochet or knit to make the tote.

If possible, bring a crochet hook (size J or larger) or knitting needles size 10 1/2 (or larger), regular or circular, and 25 plastic bags. There will be a limited supply of hooks and needles for those who need them.

All are welcome to learn a new craft and do something nice for Mother Earth.
