Altered book project 2009

Altered books @ TSCPL
September 15 – November 9, 2009
Library Atrium

Now in its 3rd year, the altered books project at TSCPL invited participants to express their creativity and recycle at the same time. Special Collections Librarian, Brea Black, and Sabatini Art Gallery Curator and Collections Manager, Zan Popp, taught a workshop on August 6 that introduced techniques and materials that could be used to turn a discarded book into a work of art. At the end of the workshop, participants selected a book and were given a month to complete their altered book.

The books used for this project were library discards that were destined to be recycled. No circulating books and no books that could be sold at the Friends book sale or in the Booktique were used for this project.
