About this event

T he days are getting colder, and the nights are getting longer. It's the perfect time to escape into a book. But did you ever wish you could step inside the world of a favorite story? Come create your own tiny escape, a little world you can tuck away on your bookshelf.

A book nook is a miniature 3D scene designed to sit between books on a shelf, like a doorway into another world. Think cozy rooms, enchanted forests, winding forest pathways, or whatever magical setting you can imagine. Use upcycled and found materials to design and build your own book nook bookend, adding paint, collage, beads, cork, natural elements, and more to bring your ideas to life.

Enjoy warm, dreamy music while you conjure up your world; cocoa and tea will be available to keep the cozy vibes going. No art experience necessary! Just bring your imagination.
