On Saturday, August 29th, from 3:45 – 5:00 PM, members of the Great Neck AYLUS branch hosted an event for kids at the Great Neck Main Library. The activities that were held at this event included story reading and arts & crafts such as origami, paper cutting, pom-pom art, and color scratching. Stories were read by three volunteers, where Goldman read “Music Of The Mountain”, Nathan read “The Jade Bracelet”, and JiangYuan read “The Princess and the Beggar”. After reading, Rainie, Goldman, and Victoria taught kids how to cut intricate arts out of paper and Amber taught the kids how to make pom-pom art. Isabelle, Austin, and Nathan taught the kids how to make things out of origami paper and Rebecca and JiangYuan helped the kids out with scratching horses to reveal beautiful colors underneath a hidden layer. As continued, we pulled out yet another table for the increase of children attending! We thank those who attended and look forward to the next event.
