Area residents can celebrate African-American History Month in February by visiting the Schiappa Branch of the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County to pick up a “Take-and-Make” Alma Thomas craft. Thomas is considered a major artist of the 20th century and achieved a great deal of success despite the prejudice of her time. “This simple art project kit is great for adults and children it all depends on your creativity,” notes Jennifer Cesta, library public relations coordinator. The kit comes with everything needed to create Alma Thomas artwork, including paper, backing paper, clue, bookmark, instructions and information about Thomas.
