1,000 Paper Cranes Project

Celebrate Asian Heritage Month with the Library by helping us create over 1,000 paper cranes

In recognition of Asian Heritage Month, this May the branches of Coquitlam Public Library are participating in the ancient Japanese tradition of Senbazuru, opens a new window: The art of folding 1,000 origami cranes. We will be hanging chains of paper cranes up and around our branches, and we need your help.

This program is happening all month long at both the City Centre and Poirier branches, during opening hours. Every patron is encouraged to participate by making a paper crane to be added to the chains, displayed at our branches. Stop by the City Centre or Poirier branch, find the display table, learn how to make a crane, and leave yours to add to our display!
