The Puppets are Free!

by Amy Szvetecz

Once upon a time, in a land way up 400, lived dozens of puppets who were stored in crowded, musty bins.  Along came a heroic Boy Scout looking to do a good deed in order to earn his Eagle Scout badge.  He built not just one, but two puppet hangers out of PVC pipe, came in with his trusty volunteers, and installed the new puppet walls on Saturday.  There was much joy across the Hampton Park Library as copious amounts of storage space were freed up and staff now look out at smiling puppet faces while they work. 

Special thanks to Sharon Forks, especially Cleo, for allowing us to look at (ahem, copy) their puppet storage also created by an eager Boy Scout. And congratulations to future Eagle Scout, Logan Agler, upon completion of this major project.
