Every librarian faces the question of what to do with the old, outdated, unused or damaged books weeded from their shelves. Give them away? Recycle them? Throw them out? One fun possibility is to repurpose old books into book art, allowing the pages of an old book to transform into something new. What is book art? Book art is a growing trend among both book lovers — using pages of books (or sometimes an entire book) to create something new. You can fold old book pages into an assortment of origami animals or use watercolors to paint an image on a page.
