Book covers can draw us into a story or remain with us long after the details of the story have faded. Create a unique art piece using recycled materials inspired by the cover of your favorite book.
We’ll provide the materials, while you bring the book or a picture of the cover and join others in your community for this program. Artwork created during this program may be featured in one of the library’s gallery spaces this summer.
