CRIKEY! West Regional Library in Scott ventured to Australia last week during Passport Around the World! A ripper of a time was had by all as they decorated cardboard boomerangs (inspired by Indigenous First Nations art techniques), ate snacks, and learned all about the land down under! They'll be keeping track of all the countries they visit via their scratch-off world map which will be displayed during all of their "Passport To . . . " programs. The next stop will be Sweden when Passport Around the World continues at the Main Library in November! WRL will explore Morocco in December. Be sure to stay tuned to our social media sites as well as lafayettepubliclibrary.org to reserve your spot on the next journey!
