SUMMARY:Make It Last: A Mending Workshop with Ella Springer (ages 12–18)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The practice of mending has existed for as long as we’ve been creating and wearing clothing. As fast fashion and even faster consumption become the norm\, mending skills are slowly being forgotten between generations. In this workshop\, participants will learn about what we wear\, how we consume\, and practice basic mending skills to make repairs to our clothing. Materials will be provided for practice\, and you are also welcome to bring in your clothing items. Jeans are great for practice! Experienced crafters and novices are all welcome to join this event! \nAbout Ella Springer: Ella Springer is an artist and designer originally from Michigan and currently based in Paris while completing her thesis at Parsons Paris. Through her work\, she is on a mission to revive the skills and communities surrounding clothing repair and sustainable hand making practices. In today’s fashion culture these skills are more crucial than ever. With a needle and thread as a tool for change\, Ella leads children to the joy of mending through workshops and creative activities. You can find out more about Ella here and follow her work here.

SUMMARY:Banned Books Week Scavenger Hunt (ages 4-18)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]To highlight the Library’s commitment to fighting the censorship of books and ideas\, and to encourage discussion\, Banned Books Week scavenger hunts will be available for children ages (4–12) and teens (ages 12–18) at the Library from 4–20 October 2026 during open hours. Library members are encouraged to stop by the Children’s and Teens’ services desk for more information. \nBanned books week (4 October–10 October) begins this week\, and we encourage members to take advantage of the right to read\, and to stop by the library to borrow one of the books on the American Library Association’s list of top challenged titles (all available in the Library’s collection).  Banned Books Week\, organized by the American Library Association (ALA)\, takes place every year in the fall with the objective of spotlighting books that have been banned or challenged by individuals\, schools\, and governments all over the world\, as well as to celebrate the value of free and open access to information. It’s important to note\, when discussing challenges\, that many attempts to ban books are not successful\, often due to the work of librarians fighting for your right to read. The American Library Association website\, and their Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) are the driving force behind Banned Books Week in America\, gathering data from libraries across the US to fuel discussions about the subject. \nThe American Library in Paris’s collections policies are guided by the ALA’s Library Bill of Rights\, which states that “Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval.” \n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”Library Policy” style=”custom” custom_background=”#194573″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-child” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Famericanlibraryinparis.org%2Fchildren-in-the-library-policy%2F|target:_blank”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving Pie-Tasting (all ages)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nLibrary members are invited to taste classic American pie recipes\, play Thanksgiving trivia\, and try seasonal games! This special seasonal event will include cakes and donuts to sample\, generously donated by local independent Paris bakeries. \nTo make this community Thanksgiving celebration even better\, guests are asked to contribute a homemade treat to share (and the recipe\, too\, if possible!). Please note in the registration form what you will bring along. \nThis event will be hosted by Children’s and Teens’ Services staff with the help of Library volunteers. Library programs are created to encourage children to actively engage with stories. Books will be on display and available for checkout. Children under age 6 must have a chaperone with them in the same room for the duration of this activity. Children between the ages 6–12 may participate in Library programs on their own\, while their chaperone remains inside the Library\, however all chaperones are encouraged to join in the event. The activity is entirely in English\, and no translation will be provided. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1686067596052{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]Important information: This event is for Library members\, and advance registration is required.
