you could stand under the Eiffel tower and look around but can’t afford the

with a Google Cardboard viewer for their library! (</span><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2kiO7L718KMQkUtSUVGbllGWmc/view?usp=sharing" style="font-family:Arial">Click

Hacking - repurposing secondhand clothing<br>
</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial">Did you know that some of the largest thrift stores in the U.S.
are right in suburban Detroit? They’re bursting at the seams, often offering
their secondhand clothing for as little as 99 cents after a few weeks lingering
on the rack. Turn those low-cost secondhand finds into new creations for less
than the cost of a trip to the fabric store. Sewing is one of the hottest
programs in many public libraries! </span><span style="font-family:Times"><span></span></span></p>
