Day 9 of 25 Days of Art is the Day That Didn't Happen. Due to some byzantine laws and bureaucracy at its finest the library was closed on Day 9 due to extreme temperatures in the building- can't turn on AC until May 15, but also can't be in a building above 82 degrees. What to do?
Origami is a fairly popular program here. We did a Mother's Day origami program last year and our books go out fairly regularly. I'm sure we'll have a chance to do it again soon. But in the meantime we'll move on.

-paper
-paper cutter (prep)
-instructions
Prep:
