Join Fernando as you learn about all the different kinds of fibers that can be turned into paper - and then make your own paper. Participants will need to return a few days after the workshop to pick up their dried paper.

Get in the mood by exploring this list about Traditional Bookmaking or this one about Plantable Paper.

Fernando is bilingual in Spanish and English and welcomes participants fluent in English o Español. 

This program is made possible by Danny & Debbie Dean and the Danny R. Dean Fund.

Paper making is a "wet" process. Fernando will take your created paper to dry and return the dried sheets for you to pick up at the library branch a few days later.

About the branch

Following years of volunteer-staffed service in an empty church building, a permanent library serving Franklin Township, the Wanamaker Branch, opened in 1969 on Southeastern Avenue. To meet the needs of a rapidly growing township, the branch was replaced in 2000 by the current 18,000-square-foot Franklin Road Branch.
