PULL UP STRUCTURES

 NORBAG members were treated to a fun and easy workshop to make "pull up" 3-D structures that will also lie flat in a book. Many thanks to Mary Conley for sharing this technique with us. Here is an example of one member's book.

In recognition of the 250th anniversary of the United States, the kiosk at the Humboldt County Library in Eureka, California is all decked out in red, white, and blue. Thanks go to Kenzie Mullen for arranging the display and Dolores Guffey for providing the books that are past exchange books made by our members.
