Artists\u2019 books are pieces of artwork in book form. From a book made of model train pieces to a \u201ctxt msg\u201d edition of <i>Romeo and Juliet<\/i>, an artists\u2019 book can truly be anything the creator puts their mind to. After the students were inspired by a few of the artists\u2019 books in the Library\u2019s collection, they were encouraged to make their own! The students were given the option of making accordion fold books or step books and were provided with plenty of pictures, magazine clippings, and ribbon to become artists themselves.\u00a0 After plenty of craft time and taking a peak at the Collin Memorial Library\u2019s very own printing press, it was time to leave.\u00a0 Having their youthful presence in the Library and being able to share the treasures of the Archives &amp; Special Collections was an absolute blast and we hope they come back soon!<\/p>\n<p><em>By Adriana Flores<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 16th, the University of Puget Sound Archives &amp; Special Collections welcomed 20 fifth graders from McCarver Elementary School.\u00a0 The students visited the University of Puget Sound to learn about college.\u00a0 Visiting Collins Memorial Library was an option for &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/from-the-archives-fifth-grade-frenzy\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-from-the-archives"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4118"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4121,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4118\/revisions\/4121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/collinsunbound\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
