Stack of Craft Books from the Library
written by marieann
I have a mad desire to make my own pop up books. I adored the stack of zoology ones my grandmother had in her home growing up and decided it was time that I made my own. I looked on Amazon and each of the pop up how to books was over $20 and I had no idea which to purchase. And then, I remembered, books are free at the library! Libraries have a very small town feel to me and I hadn’t even considered visiting the public library in NYC before. The local library branch didn’t have any of the books I particularly wanted on the shelves but they do share books via request. I found some other inspiring craft books and mixed up a cup of tea. It was a great afternoon!
I’m so jealous! We live in a teeny tiny town and the book selection at our library–especially crafty ones–is very small and limited. *sigh* Have fun reading! I hope you get inspired. And I can’t wait to see your pop-up books! (Did you see that segment on Martha a while back with pop-up masters Matthew Reinhart and Robert Sabuda? It was informative.)
