An altered book is “any book, old or new that has been recycled by creative means into a work of art. It can be…rebound, painted, cut, burned, folded, added to, collaged in, gold-leafed, rubber stamped, drilled or otherwise adorned.” – International Society of Altered Book Artists.
Come to the library to give new life to a book that is no longer in circulation! Show off your creativity by altering a book into a piece of art. To enter, pick up a discarded book and an entry form from the Reference Desk. Return your creation by September 30 to be considered.
Library patrons will vote during the month of October and winners will be chosen in the teen (13-17) and adult categories on November 4.
For keiki ages 3 – 5 accompanied by a parent or an adult caregiver.
Join us for stories, crafts, and other learning experiences. Introduce your child to the joy of reading a book and set them on the road to a future of lifelong learning. Some days, we will have storytime. Other days we will have crafts to develop fine motor skills. There might even be songs and movement days, and a few journaling activities that can get keiki interested in writing. You never know what you’ll find under the Kailua Library learning tree. See you there.
