Zarinah is amazing! We've hosted her twice here at Albion. It generated so much interest and I started a scarf club (headwrapping) and exchange that will meet 4 times this summer. It's definitely been a big boon for our community and they were both very well attended. She and her team are really approachable and she has a great perspective of the global practice of headwrapping in faith, cultural traditions, and fashion around the world from her study as an anthropologist. The art displays were also very well received. I highly recommend Beautifully Wrapped, even as a small library. We partnered with the international and religion departments at a local college and got a small grant from our community foundation. It was absolutely worth it. *Cynthia Stanczak* Library Director Albion District Library 501 S.

Hi,
I wanted to let everyone know about a fun program and exhibit. Zarinah El-Amin Naeem is the owner of Beautifully Wrapped and she will come to your library and do a head wrapping workshop and demonstration. It is a fun program that we've had 3 times over the years and it keeps growing! We had 200 people come and everyone loved it. Zarinah will demonstrate a couple of different head wrapping styles from different cultures around the world on audience members, she tells the story of its origins and its significance and at the end of the program she has wraps for the audience to try it themselves. It is a great program for moms and daughters, red hatters, girls night out. The audience ends up being mostly women but the men in the audience enjoy it as well and Zarinah wrapped a gentleman in a turban at the last program.
She also has an exhibit that she can bring to the program and/or display it at your library. We used it to build up excitement prior to the program.
Her contact information is: *Zarinah El-Amin Naeem, M.A. * Founder of Beautifully Wrapped https://www.facebook.com/Headwraps Cell: 313-377-2857 <3133772857> Email: *zarinah@niyah.net* <zarinah@niyah.net>

Thanks, Kelly
