youth programs in colorado

a library director just shared her library's program for the september project with our project listerv. she introduced her library's plans by saying it's "an idea worth sharing." she's right. here's what she said:

During the week of Sept 11, our youth department will create a bulletin board display with the stripes of the American flag, allowing kids to create their own stars with their wishes for peace and freedom.

i admire the simplicity of this program. kids understand flags, especially their nation's flag, and encouraging them to decorate their flag with thoughts and dreams of peace is truly magical. and important.
