I'm sure you are as bored as I am so I would like to challenge you to create something from your recycling bin. This item can be as small or as large as you want it to be. You can have a competition with your family members or team up to create something together.
Please send a picture of your creation to chesleylib@gmail.com and we may share it on our library website.

Good luck!
