This workshop is for youth librarians and those
wanting to incorporate recycling, gardening, and other
enviornmental friendly arts and crafts into their
children and teen programs.

Children will learn to appreciate the environment when
they know more about it.  Art projects that teach
recycling help children and teens to celebrate the
natural life around them.  Learn how to recycle fast
food containers, newspapers, old books, plastic
bottles and other throw aways into fun and interesting
recycled art objects.   Gardening, ocean, and other
themes that teach appreciation for the natural
environment will also be included. This is your
opportunity to develop a portfolio of ideas that you
can use with your Preschool through Teen visitors. 
This 4 week online workshop is taught by an art
professor who has first hand experience developing
library art programs.  Interact with other Youth
Librarians and a real art professor. The online class
is open 24/7.  Access the online workshop at your
convenience.
