A Good Time @ Cooks Memorial Library

The Cooks Memorial Library had a very nice program. We had 6 girls and 5 adults make a purse from a pair of jeans...took pictures...had popcorn... It was nice to get some different kids in participating than usually do. I hope everyone is having a good time with this program.

A Traveling Pants Lovefest in Rye

We LOVED having them! The participation of the girls (and one boy!) was phenomenal. Everyone enjoyed signing their name and favorite place. They had fun designing the patch for the library. The thing they REALLY got into was making the scrapbook pages. Participating in this program was very gratifying for all.

Pants in Madison

Last week, pants pair #2 visited the Madison Library. We got a lot of questions from those unfamiliar with the Sisterhood, most went something like: "Who lost their pants?" More photos on flickr, and be sure to contact Tim Sheehan in Derry or Mary Cronin in Madison to get the email address so you can post your traveling pants photos directly to flickr.

A Great experience @ Richards Free Library!

The Traveling Pants program was great! We met in the teen room on two afternoons. We got a little crazy with the embellishments on the first day, but they actually look great. We discovered that the boys who attended could sew better than the girls. In all I saw about 20 students. Then I had made arrangements with the high school library so they had them visit for two days as well. It was a lot of fun!

Barrington Public Library's Traveling Pants event

The Barrington Public Library held its Traveling Pants event on Monday, February 5th with our Teen Advisory Board members. We had refreshments. I made up a small trivia quiz with a candy bar for those who got 100% or the most correct. We had a contest for the best embellishment idea, so they worked on them at the beginning as everyone took turns signing the pants. The winning designer received a new copy of "Forever in Blue". I also asked the teens to write something on a pad of paper I had placed on the counter -- it could be about friends, the library, the books, TAB, whatever they wanted, and I incorporated them into the letter for the scrapbook page.
