Encino-Tarzana Branch

Thank you to our hard working Holiday Craft Club teen volunteers, Tanisha Gunby, Yvette Amirian, and Norah Kerendian! The teens made one hundred St. Patrick’s Day riddle cards, decorated folders and watercolor bookmarks for the residents Atria Tarzana Senior Living. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all from the teen volunteers of Encino-Tarzana Library.

Join us on Thursday 12/17 at 4pm for our final craft club, making senior care packages! These personalized images, made by teen volunteer Yvette Amirian, are being turned into pin back buttons for seniors in assisted living. Come help us make bookmarks and picture frames next Thursday on Zoom. Email [email protected] for the link.

A fun, creative way for teen volunteers to say thank-you to the Friends of the Library: hand-drawn postcards! These are all by teen volunteer, Yvette Amirian.

Teen volunteers want to remind everyone to vote! Drop off your ballot in an LAPL official vote box now. This poster was created by teen library volunteer, Tanisha Gunby.

Teen Volunteer, Yvette Amirian, uses LAPL eMedia resources to inform her DIY arts & crafts and room-improvement projects. Here’s her DIY story, plus photos! Yvette: A few weeks ago I decided to repaint my desk. The old pencil stains, paint stains, coffee stains, and scratches, began to seem bland after years of using that desk. I started to feel unmotivated and therefore decided to start my project. The Los Angeles Public Library offers Woodworking For Dummies, which was such... a great help. Find it here on LAPL’s Overdrive: https://lapl.overdrive.com/media/553870 It taught me the proper way to sand, prime, and paint my desk. So once I read a big chunk of the book, I knew I was ready to begin. Under the burning sun, I sanded my desk for hours in pursuit of making it the smoothest surface I could manage. A day later, I used my two paint colors and painted the desk, making sure to get two even coats. My renewed desk is a source of motivation that gives me pride to continue and put in great effort into my schoolwork.
