Family Bookmaking at the Julian Dixon Culver City Library!

June 17, 2024 By Debra Disman

It was wonderful to conduct a family bookmaking program at the Julian Dixon Culver City Branch Library, part of the Los Angeles County Library System!

Parents and children worked together to learn how to make and then create their own  accordion fold books with simple one and two cut popups, inspiring each other, as well as myself and the Library Staff as they moved through the process.
