Person at Barrett Branch Library
FROM NEIGHBORHOOD LISTSERVE:
Creepy alert- single man of latin descent with tattoos on both arms was
seen lingering behind the bookshelves staring at the kids. He then sat down
and continued to stare at the kids. He has shorn off hair- latin descent-
in the late 20s or early 30s.
I alerted the library staff and they told me that a similar complaint of
the SAME MAN was made last week- but they can't do anything unless he
solicits one of the kids. If you see him, alert the staff and feel free to
call the non-emergency police 703-746-4357 so they can be made aware of the
situation.
He is alone with no kids.
I saw him today and he was wearing a blue t-shirt and blue pants.
Please pass on this info to tell fellow parents and caregivers and make a
report with the library staff if you see this lurker in the children's
section of the Barrett Library on Queen St.

Christmas in July
As the summer rolls along and you find you need something for the kids to do, here's what we do - we get our craft on! We start on our Christmas presents for family, friends, teachers and just about everyone!
some ideas -----
- Collect rocks, wash them (that can take up an entire afternoon in the sprinkler!) and paint them. Turn them into lady bugs, frogs, stepping stones, or some other wonderful creation for the garden.
- From the craft store purchase a wooden picture frame. Decorate the frame with buttons - all different sizes, shapes and colors.
- Paint boxes and decorate them with glitter, sparkles, stickers, and stencils for treasure chests
- Take wooden dowels and make magic fairy wands attaching streamers, glitter and paint.
- Get some Christmas ornaments from the craft store and paint them
- Find some old tiles (or purchase one or two from the hardward store), put handprints on them to make a trivet
- Take terra cotta pots and paint them - thumb print designs, handprints, whatever you want. Give them with a package of seeds.
- In the cheap bin at the craft store find photo albums and decorate the fronts of them with puffy paint, find pictures and fill them.
- Also in the craft store, find some rubber stampers, use them on brown mailing paper or tissue paper to make holiday or birthday wrapping paper.
- Make soap - easy kits can be purchased at the craft store. let the kids decide the color and scent of the soaps.
- On the computer, create note cards or thank you notes, and print them out on card stock.
Happy crafting!
(Merry Christmas)
