Making Activities 
Calling all kids (and their parents) who are into making cool stuff. In celebration of Earth Week 2019 and in partnership with Manndible Café, Mann Library will be hosting some earth-friendly making activities in the Mann Lobby and mannUfactory makerspace. 
•    10:00 am – 1:00 pm: Drop the Mann Lobby to make and decorate colorful drink-&-snack jars that you can use for your lunch box at school or camp. 
•    1:00 – 3:30 pm: Drop by the mannUfactory makerspace to put an Earth Week logo on a t-shirt and/or make reusable snack bags that will help reduce what you throw away at every day. 

(And while you’re here, we’ll be happy to show you the other cool making equipment (3D printers, button-makers, and more) that you can find in the mannUfactory for turning your designs and creative ideas into reality.  Hope we get to see you here for some good down-to-earth (not to mention, save–the-earth) fun!)

Film screening: 
3:00 – 4:00 pm: Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garden Patch  - Room 160
What's so important about reducing the plastic waste that ends up in our environment?  For one, the health of our oceans is at stake. Join us for an Earth Week film screening of an award-winning film that documents the the growing amounts of plastic waste that are ending up in the world's oceans and what implications this holds for the health of our planet.

PolliNation: What Art and Science Can Tell Us About Pollinators  - Mann Gallery, 2nd floor

Artists from Wales have teamed up with entomologists from Cornell to show how amazing these creatures are and how much it matters for us to keep them healthy.
