The 2nd Moby Dick Event…

Head on down to the library this Saturday (9/14) at 3:00 for the second of our Moby Dick events.  Arts & Crafts is the theme and Scrimshaw is the focus.  Scrimshaw is a type of ivory carving that was popular among whalers as well as other groups (hence the Moby Dick connection).  Join us as we practice scrimshaw using Ivory soap instead of, well, ivory.  Everyone is welcome.

For details about Moby Dick events city wide be sure to check out the Library Foundation of Los Angeles’ website (www.whateverhappenedtomobydick.org).  Look at my earlier blog entry (http://arroyoseco5.blogspot.com/2013/08/whatever-happened-to-moby-dick-or-la.html) for specifics about programming at the Arroyo Seco Branch.

"What Ever Happened to Moby Dick?" programming is made possible through the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the WHH Foundation, and the Library Foundation of Los Angeles.
