The season of gift-giving is back! Gifts are one way we celebrate with our loved ones, but wouldn't it be great if we could do that in a sustainable and earth-friendly way? Eco-friendly gift wrapping allows us to stay festive and be less wasteful; cloth wraps, newspaper, even deli paper can all be used to wrap up something and pass it on to someone you love. Join us at the branch and learn how to show your loved ones and the planet that you care. Sponsored by the Friends of the Lawrence Library. Registration is appreciated.
