Memories of the Future

 Help us decorate and fill a time capsule! Teens are invited to fill out a “me” questionnaire, create an original piece, or bring in something (that you will not have need for in the next year) to put in a time capsule. We will decorate and hide the Time Capsule in the basement to be opened January 2014. Be sure to bring something with your name and good phone number or email so we can invite you to the opening next January!

We'll meet at the New Castle Branch Library on Saturday, January 19th at 2:00 p.m.
