Glitter, Glue, & Imagination

Have you heard of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series? In the first book of the Traveling Pants series, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Ann Brashares introduces us to four best friends: Lena, Carmen, Tibby, and Bridget. They are about to spend their first summer apart. Carmen has purchased a pair of thrift shop jeans for $3.49, and they miraculously fit all four friends perfectly. The friends form a pact to share the jeans equally throughout the summer, mailing them back and forth. The girls also come up with a list of 10 rules governing the use of the traveling pants for example—you must never wash the pants.

The popularity of the series has prompted the creation of the NH Traveling Pants project. The pants will be making there way around the state to be decorated by local teens. The Traveling Pants will be in Dover the week of March 26th through March 30th. Join us for two decorating sessions: Tuesday, March 27th from 2:30 to 4pm in the Dover Middle School Library, and Thursday, March 29th from 3 to 4:30pm in the Trustees Room of the Dover Public Library. Just show up to decorate and we will provide the materials (glitter, felt, markers, patches...), snacks, and prizes! You will also have a chance to win the latest book in the series.
