SUMMARY:Written by the Stars\, Crafted by Hand: Handcraft a Valentine inspired by the Qixi Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Qixi Festival (七夕节) celebrates the romantic legend of Niulang (牛郎)\, the cowherd and Zhinü (織女)\, the weaver girl. These star-crossed lovers can be seen in the night sky as the constellations Vega and Altair\, separated by the Silver River (Milky Way) as they wait for the one night a year they can be together.  \nAlso known as “Chinese Valentine’s Day” (中國情人節)\, create your own hanging valentine\, designed with celestial elements\, to capture the spirit of love and reunion\, making it a charming decoration for your home or a heartfelt gift for someone special. \nAll materials will be provided. \nAnyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication\, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program\, service\, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged\, but not required. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events on the HSPLS Events Calendar.
