The X-Perience @ Wiggin Memorial Library

Our Traveling Pants program on July 11 was part of our Teen Summer Reading X-Perience. A surprisingly small number of young women turned out to decorate the Pants, considering how popular the books are. But even six young adults having a smashing good time with their friends in the library is tough to beat. I provided a panoply of embellishment materials, and as always, was impressed by their creativity. Given the opportunity, teens can be remarkably artistic, especially when electronic devices are unplugged! A few girls brought in their own jeans and shorts to decorate once the Pants were done, while the rest worked on creating the scrapbook page.

My thanks join those of Nancy from Plainfield, to those folks who got this program rolling – it’s been a fun way to make a creative connection to books and reading!
