Leonardtown Library

Meeting Room 1

Is your New Year's resolution to read more books? Looking for a fun way to keep track of the ones you want to read or have already read? Come make miniature versions of them!

Miniature books have quickly become a new fad amongst avid readers with some choosing to keep them in jars, vases, and even miniature bookshelves. We'll briefly go over how to make miniature covers of real books on Canva and then spend the rest of the time making our miniature books. No matter what genre you prefer, we'll have a wide array of popular titles to choose from. Participants will also leave with a small jar to store their books in until they're ready to be crossed off your To-Be-Read list.
