Be Great on Martin Luther King Jr. Day!, The Monroe County Public Library, meeting room 1C, 303 E. Kirkwood Ave., Bloomington, IN

Please join us for a fun family service project to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and literacy! Materials will be supplied to make simple booklets from recycled materials. The session will include materials for artwork, help with labels/stories in English/Spanish, cover design, bookbinding, etc.  Participants will be able to make a book for themselves and/or a book to share with students in Cuba. Snacks provided!

During the workshop, we will provide information about MLK Jr. and local community members who have worked for peace and equity in Bloomington such as Ernest Butler, Ellen Brantlinger, and Lucille Bertuccio.  Participants will be guided in making short (8-12 page) booklets with images around peace, justice, equity, and diversity. We will also provide materials for a group collage project for anyone who wants to contribute to a community art project.  Sponsored by CUBAmistad, which is a sister-city partnership linking Bloomington, Indiana, USA and Santa Clara, Cuba.
