SUBJECT: Curiosity Creates Grant
The Kenai Community Library has been awarded a grant in the amount of $3,366.00
from the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library
Association.
Curiosity Creates grants are designated for libraries to promote exploration and discovery
for children ages 6 -14. The grant supports librarians who are already implementing
innovative maker- spaces. Ryanna Thurman wrote a proposal to build on our current
sewing program, specifically the American Girl Doll sewing classes.
"All Dolled Up" is a children's program that is designed to promote creativity and teach a
valuable skill. The general configuration of the program will consist of a once monthly 2
h hour class split into three 45min segments where 3 groups of 6 children rotate between
a sewing station, a craft station, and a free play station. This program will also include six
American Girl Doll kits available for patrons to checkout. The Kits will consist of one
American Girl Doll, the accompanying book for the character, and a journal for the
patron to record her ongoing adventures. The library will also have two dolls for any
children who were not able to bring their doll, or does not have one, available for use
during free play.
