Get ready to give your beloved book a dazzling transformation at this interactive event! Using tiny rhinestones, you'll embellish various elements of a book cover, adding a unique touch of glamour and flair to your reading collection. Bring your own book, or take one from our Friends of the Library Book Sale. Hard cover and paperback books both work well for this program. When choosing a book, look for covers with simple designs and a few standout elements—sometimes, less is more! Due to the dexterity required and the use of strong glue, this event is intended for participants aged 13 and older.
