Escondido Library - Born To Read

Crafty C.A.T.S. Delivering Baby Hats

The Crafty C.A.T.S. have been hard at work for the last few months knitting almost 100 hats for newborn babies and their moms at Palomar Medical Center. We will be delivering these gifts as part of the Escondido Public Library Literacy Department's Born to Read program tomorrow, May 18, 2011.

WHO: It's for tweens and teens ages 11+.
WHAT: Crafty C.A.T.S. (Community Action Teen Service) is the best and most entertaining way to earn community service credit. Here are just a few of our ongoing projects and community partners:
- Beanies for newborn babies at Palomar Hospital with Born to Read
- Chemo caps for cancer patients at Sharp Cancer Center
- Bookmarks to sell at the library
- Snuggle blankets for homeless animals at the Escondido Humane Society
- Gloves, hats, and scarves for troops overseas through the Ships Project
- Squares of Hope to make blankets for African AIDS orphans
