Weeds to Wonders–They’re finished!
Apr 19th, 2012 by Cathy Jo Nelson
We are excited to share our weeded books that have been transformed into works of book art, or more aptly book sculptures. We hope to showcase them throughout the rest of the school year and hopefully even into the fall. As soon as they were set out we had a steady stream of curious students checking them out. Art is like that, always drawing the curious over. I am so satisfied with this project! My collaborative friend and art teacher is already cooking up a new idea for more library and art collaboration.
Here is a sneak peek at our next collaboration, plans for which are underway but not yet fleshed out.

These are awesome! Creative librarian and teacher +talented students with vision = stupendous display!

What a fun way to recycle all of those “weeds”! Looks like everyone had fun and came out a winner!
How cool! How creative! If Linda Miller and I ever updated our weeding book, we’d have to include some photos! LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
How fabulous! A much better use for weeded books than simply throwing them away. Way to recycle – and great Earth Day/Week promotion and activity – even if it wasn’t planned as one!
