SUMMARY:Worry Dolls
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month\, the libra
 ry has teamed up with artists from Radiate Art Space to offer a fun opport
 unity to make Guatemalan-inspired worry dolls. Worry dolls\, also known as
  muñecas quitapenas in Spanish\, are small\, colorful dolls that originat
 ed in the highlands of Guatemala. The tradition originates from a Mayan le
 gend about a princess named Ixmucane\, blessed by the Sun God with the abi
 lity to solve human problems.  In honor of this gift\, people have been 
 traditionally making these tiny\, handmade dolls as representations of Ixm
 ucane. According to the legend: Before bed\, tell your worries to the doll
 s and then place them under your pillow\, so they will take the worries aw
 ay by morning. \nOur dolls will be made from pipe cleaners\, yarn\, beads
 \, and fabric. Youth ages 4–10 are welcome to join us for this creative 
 experience. Please register in advance by calling or emailing the library:
