SPIN A GOOD YARN Community Art & Writing Project
“Spin a Good Yarn” refers to telling a tale. Please come to the library and share your stories / wishes / messages / quotes with your community: 1. Open the card holder (need to squeeze it and pry open at the seem like a baggie). 2. Take the white paper card out (please leave the clear card holder attached to the tree). 3. Write your tale / message / wish / quote in pen or marker on one side only. Make sure you write neatly. 4. Place your card (face out) in the empty clear cardholder. 5. Press the cardholder shut (so the rain won’t smudge your writing). 6. Thanks for sharing! 7. Read what others have written!
