Auburn library hosts children’s origami exhibit through March 15

AUBURN — The Auburn Public Library Children’s Department is pleased to host a national exhibit of origami created by children from Jan. 25 to March 15 at the library, 49 Spring St.

For more than three decades, OrigamiUSA has sponsored Origami by Children, an annual exhibition of outstanding origami by children from around the world.

Experience is not necessary, and every interested child is welcome to participate. Most models are made from directions in origami books available in libraries, bookstores and online. However, original creations are especially encouraged.

Every year children are invited to submit their best folded models, either their own creations or the designs of others. The finest of these are selected to become the Origami By Children exhibit for that year.

The exhibit travels to the communities of the various participants where it is displayed in local schools and libraries.
