Give New Life to Your Old Books

East Smithfield Library hosts a how-to on recycling old books on Tuesday, July 9, at 6:30 p.m. Registration required.

Do you have a pile [or more than one pile] of old books hanging around the house?

If they're too used to donate to a local library, why not recycle them into art prints, handbags, journals, planters — or another kind of artsy project?

East Smithfield Library is hosting a free workshop on "upcycling" old books on Tuesday night, July 9, at 6:30 p.m.

Registration is required. Call 231-5150 for more information.
