"Thrift Style" Book Artist Spring Break Camp

Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum
West Branch, IA

This one-day youth camp combines the old with the new! Books are containers. They hold things: pictures, words, information." Join us as we explore the world of early 1900s thrift style and create your own Silva Rerum from found materials! These books were family diaries and kept information like family recipes, memories, drawings, and current events. What will your book contain? The camp runs from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. CST. There is a fee for this event to cover the cost of materials.
