Transform words into art as we use old and discarded books into fun and beautiful decorations!

Libraries are filled with books, but librarians often have to remove old and damaged books to make room for new. Help us reuse these beloved stories to craft a visual story of your own! We'll have die-cutters, paints, markers, glue, and more to help you bring your creativity to life.

No registration required and all ages and abilities welcome!
