Lewiston library to host book binding workshop Nov. 4

Lewiston Public Library, in collaboration with Purplebean Bindery, plans to host a book binding workshop for adults and teens from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4.

This free, public program will take place in the Couture Room at the 200 Lisbon St. library.

Anna Low of Purplebean Bindery will teach a class on book binding, including a workshop on how to make folded accordion books. Participants can create a single-sheet folded accordion book with pockets, perfect for love notes, business cards, or any paper ephemera.

Several books can be made in this two-hour class, and each student will leave with printed instructions on how to continue creating folded books on their own at home.

Space is limited, and registration is required.

Books in a Bind: Accordion Book Workshop is co-sponsored by the library and Purplebean Bindery.
