Dreamcatching At SE

SE children’s department celebrated Native American Heritage Month, November 6, 2019, when 19 school age participants attended their ARTrageous: Dreamcatchers program. YS Library Associate Rochelle Golomb showed participants how to use recycled CDs, pipe cleaners, feathers, and beads to create unique dreamcatchers by weaving, stringing and twisting assorted materials.

They learned about the Native American custom and symbolism of placing colorful dreamcatchers over their beds to protect them from bad dreams.  Rochelle said, "One quote from the participant pictured here delighted us, ' I loved being able to make my dreamcatcher any way I wanted.'”
