This project was based on a project in the Midwest that Tim and Wendy saw on a listserv. They created 3 different routes for pants around the state. Each library will have the pants for a week. During this time they have the opportunity to add their mark, plan a program around them, and put them on display for all to see. The pants also come with a scrapbook and notebook to document the experience.
