Library to Host Bookmaking Program for Preschoolers


Tompkins County Public Library is offering creative kids an opportunity to work with professional artist Mary Beth Ihnken to create their own books this fall with “Preschool Bookmaking.”

Being held Mondays, October 2 through October 23 from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room, “Preschool Bookmaking” will provide children ages three through five an opportunity to learn about and create their own wordless books. Participants will leave the final workshop session with their own “published” book.

Ihnken is a professional muralist and decorative painter. She is recognized for her mural techniques, faux finishes and trompe l’oiel. To read more about Ihnken or view samples of her work, visit http://www.arttrail.com/artists/IHNKEN.html.

This program is free, however; space is limited and advance registration is required. To register, visit http://www.libraryinsight.com/EventSignUp.asp?t=102416800&jx=nnv&lmx=%C7jd%21%AE%AC or call (607) 272-4557 extension 275.
