Intergenerational Mini Book/Photo Albums
Preserve copies of your favorite photos on the tiny pages of a handmade mini photo album! Create a new keepsake at this Preservation Week-adjacent program. We provide the slides for the book cover, you provide the photos for the content. Maximum size for images is just under a 2" square (the size of a slide). Binding the pages will involve the use of needle and thread (also provided). This year, Preservation Week is April 26 - May 2. Age 8 and up. Please register as supplies are limited!

Supplies
Your mini book will contain at least 8-12 pages. Bring enough photos to give yourself options for filling the mini pages. Please be aware that you will probably need to cut out your images from larger photos. Don't have any printed photographs? Consider creating mini collages from some 'found' photos (I found them in my basement!).
There will be an option to create a slightly larger pocket-sized book more appropriate for a journal that will allow you to add text to your chosen images.
