Mehendi - July 27, 2004
These
readers know how to read for the fun of it. Pictured are some of
the 150 + participants of Schlow Library's Young Adult Summer Reading
Club "Get Lost ... at Your Library" In addition to winning really
cool prizes for reading books during the summer, they were treated to a Mehendi workshop. Mehendi is the art of using henna for temporarily
"tattooing". Mehendi artist Sampada, who learned the art as a
girl, taught the workshop.
