Accordion folded book making at Auburn Hills Library--Tues., September 29

One of my favorite things to do is making books.  Join us for an artful evening and create an accordion folded book, also known as a "concertina". This is a 2-part series. We will continue the following Tuesday with another advanced accordion book or you may choose to make another simple accordion book. You may register on-line at the Library website (http://auburn-hills.lib.mi.us/) or call the Auburn Hills Library directly (248-370-9466) and press "3" for adult services.  There is no charge for the class.  It is helpful to bring along your paper crafting tools (tote) such as a paper trimmer, bone folder, ruler, glue stick and decorative paper for the covers. You may use this as a gift greeting card in a book or commemorate a special day or event. Books are fun to make and give!
