The Land O’ Lakes Branch Library, 2818 Collier Parkway, recently hosted a tie dye with Sharpie markers event, as part of its ‘Try it Tuesdays’ program. The free event encouraged children to use their imagination and use colorful markers to draw their favorite pictures on a cotton bandana. When the kids were finished, Karen Allen, the youth services librarian sprayed the masterpieces with rubbing alcohol — bleeding the colors to create a tie dye effect. The program meets every other Tuesday, and gives school-age children a chance to try something new and exciting.
