Have you ever wondered how to turn a simple piece of tarp into a lifesaving, or at least a camping trip-saving, shelter? Welcome to the fascinating world of Tarp-ology – the art and science of creating shelters and coverings from tarps. It’s more than just tying corners to trees; it’s an innovative skill that combines creativity, practicality, and outdoor knowledge. This unique offering connects directly to the mission of the Trenton Veterans Memorial Library, which aims to educate and engage with the communities of Brownstown, Grosse Ile, Trenton, and Woodhaven, Michigan, in new and meaningful ways.
Tarp-ology at the library is not just a learning opportunity; it’s a chance to deepen community ties and explore a potentially life-saving skill together.
