Build an Underground Railroad Quilt

Help OPL build its very own Underground Railroad Quilt!

During the month of February, we’ll be distributing quilt blocks for children to color in at home. Once colored in, blocks can be brought back to the library to be pieced together in a ‘quilt’ that will be displayed in our children’s play area window.
