Make a cool project with us - National Library Week starts today!


Drop by and celebrate National Library Week with us!
Today (Monday, 4/15) come by between 10am - 1pm to learn the basics of making a simple stitch-bound book, or print your own celebrity-style READ poster.


All week long (April 15-19) you can come by to add to our "Words On The Move" Mobile Magnetic Poetry Board or our “MAKE / READ” Collaborative String Art Installation.


We hope to see you soon!  For the full schedule of events and activities, see the schedule here: http://collegeofsanmateo.edu/library/makerspace.php
