Card Bored? LivGreen Hosts Creative Maker Space

This Pi Day (03.14), Livingston Public Library hosted a Town wide creative Maker’s Day and LivGreen was excited to be there to demonstrated how we can reuse and repurpose our waste. Ali Barmas, known hoarder of ‘useful’ things, raided her stash of cardboard and supported by a team of amazing student volunteers, including team members Brooke Kalva and Mary Kharagezov, helped to engage the community in creative art making.

Kids and adults alike entered our cardboard portal to Pi Town! A place where anything is possible and kids made puppet heads, dinosaurs, outer space monsters, giant boats, toilet paper dolls and of course actual Pie slices!

The stand was extremly popular and piloted the use of Ali’s Chomp Saws and Make.Do kits at the library. In exciting news LivGreen were able to help secure Recycling Funds granted by the Township to support the purchase of these chomp saws and Make.do kits for the Library’s summer education program. This program will run creative recycling projects integrated with literacy education to help children and their families think about how we reduce and reuse our waste!

A huge thank you to all the amazing staff who created this day at the Library, which is at the heart of Livingston.
