What Librarians Are Saying

 

“What a great time we all had this weekend! Thank you again for coming to Scituate and teaching us all how to make beautiful works of art! I went home so well rested! I have not had that happen after a big program. Usually I am the one running it so it was really nice to just get to hang with the kids!”

— Kate Jasminski, Scituate Public Library

“We had the wonderful ladies from the PopUp Art School come and teach our tweens and teens how to paint the Night Sky using only 4 colors. We had almost a full class of 27 kids ages 12-18. They all had a great time and it was amazing to see all the wonderful varieties of each person's night sky being created. 

I HIGHLY recommend them. We look forward to them coming back in the summertime for their "Manga Linoleum Block Printing" class. And since they have such a wide variety of arts and crafts that they teach this age group, I will definitely be booking them again! :)"

— Erin C. McCollough, MLIS (she, her, hers) Rockland PL

“We loved the virtual Amate bark class and everyone had a lot of fun. Thank you for offering these programs to us all!"
