Bee Friend the Dalkey Libary

In 2020, we received an email from the Dalkey Library (Dalkey is a seaside suburb of Dublin Ireland). They were looking for participants in their Creating Community Through Correspondence Project.

 

Participants made bee puppets to send (bees are NJ's state insect) along with photos of special sites in Tenafly

 

Libraries from all over the world participated.  Find our contribution in the Dalkey Library digital display right from this page.
