Windham's Jeantastic Event and Pictures

Our time with the pants went very well. We had 5 girls come to our event and they really enjoyed themselves. It was nice because even though they didn't all know each other, they were chatting and laughing and having a great time. They designed the patch for the Traveling Pants and then went to town decorating the "Windham" pants. They were having so much fun they stayed for three hours and still didn't want to leave! There are some great pictures on our website at:

Two Pairs Decorated @ Merrimack

The small group of four girls that attended Merrimack's program had a great time decorating their part of the NH Traveling Pants. The girls laughed, and enjoyed the snacks that were provided. When they were done with the NH Traveling pants they got to focus all of their attention on the Merrimack Pants. The girls decided that they had so much fun decorating the NH Pants that they wanted a pair to decorate for our library. A fun time was had by all!

Derry Goes Demin



The Pants made their first public appearance at the Derry Public Library on Tuesday May 29, 2007. The Library’s Anime Club received the first chance to make their mark on the Pants. Our Anime Club is dominated by boys. They never read the Sisterhood books but were impressed with the concept.

Later in the evening, we had our Pants Party. We at first had only two people show up. I did some recruiting around the Library and we ended up with seven teens working together. They used the supplies I bought and created Derry’s embellishment and the scrapbook page. They ate Strawberry Pop-Tarts and Cheese Puffs while chatting and working on the Pants. All were happy with their labors and enjoyed themselves.

The Pants spent the day at Pinkerton Academy’s Saltmarsh Library on Thursday May 31 to give those unable to come to the Public Library a chance to make their mark on the Pants.

Derry looks forward to seeing the Pants again.

Pants @ Plaistow


We had a great program with five girls from my Middle School Book Club. Since we didn't have enough time, or photos, they came back and created the scrapbook pages a few days later. They mostly loved the snacks! and seeing what other libraries had done.
