A Community Art Swap is an event where new and gently used art materials are exchanged. Community members are encouraged to trade secondhand supplies, all of which are available for free.
On Friday, Dec. 1, more than 300 fans of all ages gathered at a Milwaukee Public Library (MPL) branch for Crush the Shush, a high-flying Mexican wrestling show featuring the Milwaukee-based Mondo Lucha.
Featuring "The Princess Bride," this festival offered programs related to the book and movie, starting with a sword and mask-making craft (a program we called "The Man in Black") and ending with a fused-glass pendant making workshop ("The Bride"). The objective was to feature a range of library programs for all ages and interests.
