CANCELED-- DIY Book Cover Workshop In-Person

Does your bookshelf need cute covers, special spines, and beautiful bindings? 

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to recover your books with custom hardbound covers. We’ll walk you through the process step by step, introduce tools and materials, and share tips for creating beautiful results.

Some workshop materials will be prepared in advance, so to ensure you receive the correct supplies, please include the height and width measurements of the book you plan to recover on the registration form.  Please measure to the nearest 1/8".

  • Hardback book: measure the first page inside the cover.
  • Paperback book: measure the front cover.

This class focuses on building the hard cover itself.  Creating cover art will not be apart of this workshop, but we'll give you tips and tricks to finishing the cover art on your own!

Please note: this is not a book repair class. We will not be fixing or restoring damaged books, but instead creating brand-new cover designs for fun.

Registration is required, and space is limited.

If you have any questions, contact Becca at 501-778-4766 ext. 1010.

Good to Know

Registration

All library programs are open to the public; however, some events will require reserving a seat (registration) in order to attend. Registration requires providing a name and email address. Programs that need you to sign up will clearly state "REGISTRATION REQUIRED" and will have information on how many seats are remaining. Registration for all library events is free. If seats are completely full, you may also request to be added to a waiting list.

Age Groups

Library programs are designed for separate age groups: Children (ages 0-10), Tweens (ages 10-12), Teen (ages 13-18) and Adult (ages 18+). Some events are marked for All Ages, or have a combination of age groups (ex: Tweens & Teens). Attendees are asked to attend only programs that fit their designated age group.

Cancellation

Our staff reserve the right to modify, postpone, or cancel events. If an event is cancelled, notices will be sent out on our Facebook, website, and doors (if event is in-person). Anyone who registered will be notified via email with the address they signed up with.

Photography

By attending a library program, you are granting staff permission to photograph or video record you and/or your child. These photographs and videos may be used for social media such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram as well as used on our website, marketing, or promotional materials. You may request to opt out of photography: If you are uncomfortable being photographed, please let our photographer on site know.

Accessibility 

The library makes every effort to ensure our programs can be enjoyed by all. If you have any concerns about accessibility or need to request specific accommodations, please contact the library. 

Feedback

We would love to know what you think of our program, as well as suggestions for new events at the library! After attending, you may fill out an Evaluation Form and give us feedback on how we did. We are here to serve our community and your thoughts are highly appreciated! You can fill out the form here.
