Children's Book Week: The Art of the Book

Print on a reproduction Ben Franklin Common Press and create a book using a method hundreds of years old. For children ages 6 to 13. Registration required.

Join us as we celebrate Children’s Book Week at the City’s oldest public library. Do you know what an endpaper is? A casecover? We will venture into Center for the Book to find out the craftsmanship involved in creating a book. Children will have the opportunity to print on a reproduction Ben Franklin Common Press and create a book of their own using a method hundreds of years old. This event is open to children ages 6-10 and tweens ages 11-13. Registration is required.
