The first book published about Kanzas.
Book Art for Schools
Jeanne Drewes, Preservation librarian at the Library of Congress, will teach you how to teach others! “Book Art for Schools” is a workshop that shows you how to make five different book forms. You can then share your knowledge with students, scout troops, friends, family, anyone! Join us Tuesday, April 26, 6 – 8:30 pm, in the Marvin Auditorium, 101A.
Since books are “containers of information”, this is a great workshop for art and English teachers, children’s librarians, or anyone interested in books and how they are made. You can use your books to tell or record your own stories. Materials will be provided. Register now by calling 580-4515 – space is limited.
This workshop is part of National Preservation Week (April 24 – 30), organized by the American Library Association, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and the Library of Congress.
Family Treasures

This sounds like a great program. I wish I lived in Topeka so I could attend. Do you have online programming like this?

Great question, Travis. We don’t have programs developed specifically for the web, but give us time! I’ll ask Jeanne if she has handouts, instructions, etc. that I can post.
