We still have some places available for the Travelling Pants workshop next week.
We will be decorating a pain of jeans that will then travel around New South Wales going from Library to Library, each Library adding their decorations to the jeans. So come along and be a part of the fun!
We will also be making denim bookmarks for you to take home.
