Attend Make a Book Workshop

The San Juan Island Library is offering a series of workshops on the art of making books.
 
One session will be for children from grades 1 – 5, on Tuesday November 14 at 3:30 – 4:30 PM.

A series of two workshops for adults and teens will take place on Tuesday November 7 at 7:00 PM and Tuesday December 5 at 7 PM. Different styles of art projects will be offered in each workshop. “We had so much fun teaching making books at the San Juan County Fair that we thought we should do it again,” said outreach coordinator Beth Helstien.

The library will supply art materials free of charge. Participants may bring additional art supplies.  All workshops will take place in the library’s meeting room.

In addition to its collections of books, audio books and videos to loan, the library also provides computers for the public to use for email, Internet searching, and working in word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. Library computers offer software to help new computer users learn to type and use a keyboard, and guides, called tutorials, for learning to use the computer’s mouse. A computer is available for those with special needs, featuring a magnifier and foreign languages.

Library hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 AM to 6 PM, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from 1 PM to 5 PM.  Library cards are free to island residents with proof of residency.
