Crafting Keepsakes: A One Maryland, One Book Program

Each year, thousands of Marylanders read one book as a community and, this year, the theme we focus on is “What We Collect/What We Tell”.

This year's One Maryland, One Book is "Kin: Rooted in Hope" written by Carole Boston Weatherford with art by Jeffery Boston Weatherford. Their book focuses on the Weatherford's own ancestors who were among the founders of Maryland and gives these individuals voice through enslavement, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.

In this program, we invite you to come and create a photo album. Each participant will receive one 8" x 8" photo album along with access to a variety of crafting supplies including stickers, decorative paper, markers, washi tape, and more. You supply the photos! There is a limit of one photo album per participant.

Whether you're capturing generations of memories or starting a new tradition, this program is a perfect opportunity to tell your family’s story through photos and art.

Find your own copy of Kin in our catalog or on our digital apps, Libby and the Palace Project.
