Summary:<span class="i">T</span>he Book as Art at the Pamunkey Regional Library started with a workshop for Earth Day and an enthusiastic Children’s Programmer! When we first decided to create a workshop for Earth Day, we began with a brainstorming session to come up with the best ideas. As such sessions go, we bandied about innumerable concepts, eventually settling on making notebooks that teenagers might enjoy using at school. The plan was to save food boxes to use as covers and dividers, and to add a variety of different pages using other papers and materials. We hoped to purchase a binding machine so workshop attendees could bind their own books. However, after investigating binding equipment, the cost proved to be prohibitive given the Library’s current budget.
