Upcycle

CANCELLED: Have some old fashioned fun this holiday season: make homemade gifts using recycled materials. For ages 8 and up. Pre-registration required.

Get ready for Back to School, save water, save energy, do the planet some good and protect your electronic valuables all at the same time! Looptworks will be at the Cape Ann Farmers' Market in Gloucester and encourages you to come by and and check out their great iPad, iPhone, Tablet and laptop computer sleeves made of UPCYCLED excess wetsuit neoprene fabric.  They're perfect for the summer, perfect for back to school, look great and are a perfect solution for protecting your beloved gadgets in a padded protective sleeve.

Teens in grades 7 through 12 are invited to recycle with style in the program room at Newburyport Public Library. Local artist Pam Farren will teach us how to create upcycled journals using cardboard boxes (e.g. cereal boxes), paper, ribbon, string, and other fasteners. Supplies will be provided, but you may also bring your own, too. To register, please click the "Children's Room Program Sign-Up" link on the Events Calendar page or call 978.465.4428 ext. 226.
