Discover the art of transforming recycled newspaper and old book pages into beautiful, handcrafted jewelry! In this one-time workshop, students will learn how to create unique paper beads using simple techniques and tools. We’ll explore different ways to roll, shape, and seal the paper beads for a variety of styles and sizes. Once the beads are ready, students will combine them with traditional beads and cords to design and craft their own custom necklaces and bracelets. By the end of the session, each participant will leave with a new piece of eco-friendly jewelry and the skills to continue creating at home. No prior experience necessary; all materials will be provided. Join us for a fun, hands-on class and give new life to recycled paper!

About the branch
What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
