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 session will also have an ASL interpreter.

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

Established as the Broadway Branch in 1924, the library served the neighborhood from a frame house on E. 42nd Street until 1958 when a 6,500-square-foot facility opened on Broadway Street. This aging and overcrowded building was replaced in August 2000 with the current 16,000-square-foot structure on College Avenue that was renamed the College Avenue Branch.
