Program Description

Event Details

Pick up a senbazuru kit from our NPL branch location at 201 W. College, either at the desk or through Curb-It.

In Japan, the crane represents good fortune and long life, and folding a senbazuru, or 1000 origami cranes strung together and hung, is a traditional way to wish someone luck or good health. With this kit, you will receive supplies and instructions to make one string of a senbazuru, consisting of 40 paper cranes.

Kits are intended for teens and adults and are available while supplies last  through curbside pickup. One kit per person, please.
