What's up in the library this month? The 8 & 9 year old students from Martha & Elisa's class have finished their research project on architects. Adorning the library are their fanciful takes on a dog house in the style of a particular architect. Starting with a smallish cardboard "house," these creations take on all shapes and sizes. The families that create these projects tell me they recognize "their" architect on travels for years and years. Come in and see!
