The attempt to make 1,000 paper cranes to make a wish come true – in this case, a peaceful America – is in holding with a Japanese legend, according to Loveless.
By Monday evening, about 600 paper cranes were suspended from beams in the library. Loveless said the project will continue through Friday.
