Make a Prayer Flag

 

Prayer flags are an important tradition and symbol in the mountainous regions of Central Asia.  Prayer flags have their roots in the Buddhist tradition but have been widely adopted as a way of wishing good health and happiness.  People hang colorful prayer flags in homes, businesses and throughout the countryside and the wishes expressed on the flags are flung to the wind. Many prayer flags have even made their way to the top of Mount Everest.

Our partner, Humanities Quilters, has generously created materials for making prayer flags.  Please stop by the library and create some for you and your family and fill Wareham with good wishes.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wareham Reads: A Community Reading Initiative


Beginning in May, the Wareham Free Library, in collaboration with the Wareham Public Schools and other community organizations, is launching a community-wide read program with related events.  Over the next six months, everyone will be encouraged to read the same book, in this case Three Cups of Tea, in order to build community, good will, and literacy.  

This book, promoting the themes of education, building bridges, and working together to overcome obstacles, lends itself well because there are adult, youth reader, and picture book editions.  Area groups such as the Wareham Village Association, the Onset Bay Association, the Boys and Girls Club, the Y, and local businesses are already participating and more will be joining in.

Community Reads have been conducted throughout the country to great success. Families and individual readers can enjoy book discussions, author visits, arts and multicultural programs.  We are pleased to be promoting this positive, cooperative effort with library, school and community resources together.
