Green Libraries

Contains 40 book-making ideas using recycled and green materials. This title shows how to transform wood, beer cans and cassette tapes into covers and brown bags and discarded newspapers into pages.

For these projects, Lisa Occhipinti rescues and repurposes orphaned and outdated books from flea markets and library sales and turns them into new art objects and practical items for the home. Her creations range from artfully constructed mobiles to a Kindle "keeper" for those who want to replicate the sensation of holding a "real" book while reading from an e-reader.
