Make a neighborhood map! Join Sequoya Library Artist-in-Residence Stephen Kennedy of LATLONG.SHOP to learn how to construct your own map out of magazine cut outs.

Supplies provided, but feel free to bring old magazines if you like their imagery or typography. All ages welcome, but parents are recommended to supervise kids under age 10.
