JP Branch Library to Hold Woodworking Class This Fall

The Jamaica Plain branch of the Boston Public Library plans to work with the JP-based Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts to offer a woodworking class, the library announced Tuesday.

As part of the effort, students who participate will learn to measure, sand, saw, hammer, join glue, work with texture and engage in a variety of projects, such as making a nameplate and building a book safe.

The program, sponsored by the Boston Public Library Foundation and meant for children aged 6-10 years, will begin on Sept. 29 and run for 10 weeks on Mondays from 4-5 p.m. through Dec. 8. The program is also limited to 15 participants.

Those interested should contact the JP Library at 617-524-2053.
