Highlights

- **Amy C.** shared that her library has a lot of donated board games, and is trying out ideas for a board game program with paper circuits.
- **Mike J.** suggested that the leftover sticker chart for reading could be a nonogram game! Recycling at his island in Alaska is a challenge because it would have to be shipped out.
- **Jocelyn E.** suggested using a button-maker on leftover paper scraps. She made a discreet tracker for neurodivergent people to track ways to take care of themselves.
- **Nisha C.** shared considerations for using paper clay, which is great for using up shredded paper pieces, but takes a really long time to dry. The teen librarian is doing a competition of who reads more, and Nisha explored different ideas of making the competition more 3-dimensional with pool noodles pieces and race tracks.

Check out the inspiring ideas below!
