THE ORIGAMI WHIZ-KID VISITS THE LIBRARY

     We have big plans in the Children's Library tomorrow.  That's Thursday, April 19th.
     Jett Kiminas, the origami whiz-kid, will be here to teach basic and intermediate folds, as well as demonstrate how to make origami objects. 
     Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative or representational forms, such as animals and flowers.
     "The Art of Origami" will begin at 4:30 p.m. in the Jenkins Conference Room (often called the classroom), which is adjacent to the Children's Library.
     Jett is a student at Sunset Elementary School and nine (yes, 9!) years old.  He said his father taught him about origami, and he wants to share his talent to show others that origami is an art form, not just a hobby.  He has designed dragons, frogs, hearts, and a host of other interesting forms. 
     Jett has high ambitions of being in the World Book of Records by folding and completing a six-headed crane.  You'll be amazed with his designs.
     Come and join us.  Be intrigued to make your own folds and designs.
