JB Remembers & Reminds

 

To raise awareness of the dwindling population of monarch butterflies, the Beaches Library atrium was transformed by Julie Rekow's creation of 150 flying paper monarch butterflies, paper representations of pollinator plants, and two book displays. The theme: “Save the Monarchs, Plant Milkweed.”

 

Monarch butterflies migrate to Mexico every fall and their culture celebrates the return of the monarchs with the Day of the Dead.   

 

Additionally, in memory of FOBBL members who had passed away in recent years, JB's Teen Advisory Board members made photos of the FOBBL members and placed them around a table decorated with tissue paper flowers and 3-D printed sugar skulls.  (Thanks to Hongying Song for submitting pics and article.)
