"Collecting Memories" Booklets available in Youth Services
Image
Family memories can be so much fun to look back on but they can often be forgotten over the years. Kids and grown-ups are encouraged to stop by the crafting table in Youth Services and pick up a "Collecting Memories" booklet to record memories from yourself and other family members so you can treasure them for years to come.
The booklet contains a map, stickers, and pages to record family memories, and a few questions to get you started:
- What is one of your favorite childhood memories?
- Where were you when a major world event happened?
- What was the best part of where you grew up?
Booklets available while supplies last.
