Caps for a Cause

May 23, 2012 by Mary Voors

The Woodburn Branch Library Yarn Lovers group have been crocheting and knitting for charity this spring. They have been making cancer caps for the last few months.

Hat makers, from left to right: Jerri Carpenter, Linda, Clegg, Genie Bishop and Sheila Lothamer

This week they sent a box full of hats to Wig and Hat Boutique at the Paulding County Hospital Home Care Services in Paulding , OH.  The Wig and Hat Boutique is partnered with the American Cancer Society. Anyone experiencing hair loss as a result of cancer treatment can receive a free hat or a free brand-new wig. The hats will also be available at the Hicksville Pharmacy.

    Star Readers

    As a children’s and teen librarian I love helping kids find books for school. We get lots of requests, and the specifics of each one make them like little puzzles to solve. Say, for instance, that a 3rd grade girl needs a book that has an Accelerated Reader (AR) test and is listed as a […]
