The CFS 207 Class (Family Relations) will host a table the Clothesline Project at the library for students and community to decorate shirts as part of raising awareness about violence against women. The shirts will be then hung in a clothesline at the library through the end of September.

"The Clothesline Project (CLP) is a program started on Cape Cod, MA, in 1990 to address the issue of violence against women. It is a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women. With the support of many, it has since spread world-wide."
