Comment included: One of our patrons, an immigrant from Russia, who has been attending for a few months and learning sewing shared with me how wonderful Craft Club has been for her. She had been feeling isolated and alone and had asked a librarian at one point if the library had any social activities she could attend. She's been attending weekly every since and praised our volunteers who have taught her so much about machine sewing.
