Turner Free Library

During our final bookmobile visit to Martin E. Young School for this school year, we were treated to a beautiful rainbow 🌈 and dozens of thoughtful thank-you cards from students. We even received some wonderful artwork featuring the bookmobile and library staff!

Thank you to all of the students, teachers, and staff for another fantastic year of reading. We'll be smiling about these cards all summer long. 💛

Tote bags, cardstock, you name it! 🌸 ⚒️ Tatakizome, or flower hammering, uses real blooms to transfer pigments onto paper, fabric, and more, creating soft botanical prints full of natural color and texture.

Upcoming next month: mixed-media beach scene painting.
