Jackson County Public Library Children's Area gives kids their own space in the library, filled with books,  DVDs, a train table, puppet theater, puzzles, and many other things. There is one study room that can be reserved or used when available, as well as computers just for kids and AWES with pre-programmed games on them. We have a special Storytime Room where we hold our Storytimes and many of our programs. Youth Services staff are always on hand to lend assistance.

Let's Get Japaneseee: Making Daruma & Okonomiyaki

Let's Get Japaneseee: Making Daruma & Okonomiyaki

Jackson County Public Library


The Jackson County Public Library will host the 2nd 'Let’s Get Japaneseee' program on Tuesday, January 7th at 6pm Join us in the Community Room to learn how to make Daruma dolls which are  hollow, round, Japanese traditional dolls modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen tradition of Buddhism. These dolls, though typically red and depicting the Indian monk, Bodhidharma, vary greatly in color and design depending on region and artist.  Though considered a toy by some, Daruma has a design that is rich in symbolism and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the Japanese.  Attendees will also learn how to make and sample Okonomiyaki, Japanese savory pancakes. 
*Registration Required* Please call the Jackson County Public Library at 828-586-2016 or email JCPL-Adults@fontanalib.org. The Jackson County Public Library is a member of the Fontana Regional Library.
