Library Programs (not limited to libraries)
Our "Learning with Leftovers" program offers inspiring, innovative, interactive activities for all ages focusing on resource conservation through the use of our unique materials. Participants will jump into our "waste stream", retrieve reusables and recyclables then create something new with the materials they've rescued. We offer choices of theme related programs such as "Storymaking: Thinking Outside the Book!" and/or creative, freewheeling materials smorgasbords. Our Reuse-a-Mobile (traveling store) is also available by special arrangement.

Sample programs:

Full day Reuse -a- Mobile - 6 hours at your location can include shopping, librarian training, kids programming, etc. $600.00 (includes $200 worth of materials)

Thinking Outside the Book - Storytellling in 3D - one hour workshops $200.00
Participants will be presented with all sorts of unusual materials along with a variety of story starters as they let their imaginations take flight.

- Adventure Treasure Trove ( Grades K-2)
- Origins Treasure Trove (Grades 3-up)

Block programming available with or without the Reuse-a-Mobile.

Below are some workshop ideas that we can accommodate. We are always interested in new ideas and offer some financial consideration and partnering for learning plans that move our program forward. Call Jill Gruber, Executive Director if interested.
