The guidelines for Once Upon a Book
Who doesn’t love children’s books? We all have a favorite book that was read to us as children or ones that we read to our own children, or even grandchildren. For many of us, it was the start of a passion for all things book-related. We would like to display our love of children’s books by having chapter members rebind, alter, restore, or create from scratch, a book intended for children.
Pretty much anything goes. Some ideas: Create your own children’s book, either a one–off or an edition. Bind a children’s book in any way you like. Restore a well-loved children’s book. Alter an existing children’s book.

Exhibition - October 1st 2019 - Friday, November 29th, 2019 – Free Library of Philadelphia
