About this event
Onsite. Stop by for a crane folding hour at the Library Tuesdays from 3:00-4:00. Folding peace cranes has a long history at the library. Over the years approximately 25 thousand cranes have been folded by young and old in the Southwest Harbor Library and sent around the world. Our purpose in folding peace cranes is to promote inner peace in ourselves and the folders who join us. Then we gather them in groups of 1000 to send out as wishes for peace. All ages are welcome and we can teach anyone who wants to learn. Papers provided. All past folders are encouraged to come, whether in 1987-90, its first season or 2007-2010 or 2017-19 seasons. This is yet another historic event in the library’s 130th anniversary year. “Can’t wait to hear the quiet paper folding sounds in the library again.” For questions or for more information, contact Kate Russell Henry at spinredcorgi@gmail.com, call the Library at 207-244-7065, or email programs@swhplibrary.org.
