Thanks to the Southeast Regional Library System in OH for hosting my workshop on teens in the library! Slides, handouts and links follow after the break. If you attended, please take a moment to complete this EVALUATION.
Part of the session included information about henna, a demo, and henna slinging for anyone who wanted it! Thanks to Penni for providing the henna portion of the program.
