This session, in conjunction with our Deerfield Reads program will focus on re-use and recycle.  We'll have stations to visit and a few ongoing projects.  Everything will be made of something that already had a use.  Some questions we hope to answer: How can you make a piece of paper big enough to walk through? How can you use empty chip bags for other uses? Activities at the sessions will help us answer these questions. This enrichment activity is funded by Frontier Regional Coordinated Family and Community Engagement Program which is funded by the MA Department of Early Education and Care and by Tilton Library.
