Give a book an Alter Ego! What can you create with a book? Here's how it works: Pick a book or two from our collection of interesting discards (or get one from the "Swap Shack" or use one of your own,) put on your creative cap, and turn your book (or books) into a child of your imagination. Paint it, cut it, sculpt it, embellish it, singe it, bead it, glue it, stamp it, and then donate it to the Friends of the Library. Bring your finished creation to the Library by Wednesday, July 17th, and they will be available for bidding. Proceeds will fund Library activities.
