We would like to thank all our patrons and staff for contributing to the Save the Children Fund Campaign 'Knit One Save One'
Our knitting sessions during the holidays were a big success. We also provided wool and needles at all our branches to encourage people to add a few rows while they in the library. Many of our staff have been busy knitting away as well.
If you have the time the SCF are desperately seeking volunteers to sew up the squares into rugs. They are pleased that they have exceeded their target of 80,000. At the time of writing this post they have received over 88,000 sqauares. Each 16 squares makes a rug for newborn babies. What a great idea and what a great response. The library has been very pleased to be able to support this campaign, as well as encouraging young and old to take up this terrific pastime.
