Helping the Homeless, While Recycling!

Did you know recycled grocery bags can create colorful, woven mats for homeless individuals in your community? Through a partnership with Integrate for Good and Angels in Motion, the Indian Valley Public Library is joining the project. Each week community members will join to learn different parts of the project including cutting bags, making loops, making "plarn" (plastic yarn), and weaving the mats on a loom.

Anyone is welcome to join us! If you plan on bringing a group of 5 or more people, contact Nicole Husbands at nhusbands@ivpl.org.

Optional: Volunteers may bring one grocery-sized shopping bag filled with plastic bags to the program. 

Please read the safety guidelines below:

*The library is following current CDC guidelines regarding masks. Please check here for guidelines before attending in-person programs.

*If you are experiencing COVID symptoms or have been recently exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID, please stay home.
