Our  Roosevelt Island Living Library & Think Park <\/strong><\/em>behind 504 Main Street is growing !  This year the environment became a gorgeous and wonderful learning landscape and beautiful ecological place for the whole community.<\/p>\n

We began again in the early Spring with the students from PS\/IS 217 and the Beacon and prepared for Roosevelt Island Day on June 9.  RI Day was a huge success !<\/p>\n

Thereafter we worked all summer and into the fall with children and youth.  Our new A.L.L. instructor, Susan Benarcik, is a dedicated teacher, artist, and gardener and worked with the children from 217, The Child School, and the Beacon during the school day, after school, and all summer in a robust program that included gardening, making beautiful painted canvas signs, and over-sized insects as artworks.  Neighbors too, dropped by and participated.<\/p>\n

Do you think the children enjoyed themselves and learned some things ?<\/p>\n

Please enjoy some pics below and let us know !<\/p>\n
