Inspired by Christie George’s book report The Emergency Was Curiosity, we’re going to make our own. Bring a beloved book or find inspiration in one of the books in the Four One Nine Library. It doesn’t have to be your favorite book, just a book you’d like to remember.
We all have things that we’re paying attention to, that we’d like to remember and that we’d like to share with others. A book report is a way to focus your attention on what you most loved about a book and how you felt when you read it. We’ll talk about book reports as a way to practice paying deep attention and learn how to make a simple zine from a single sheet of paper!
Christie will be joined by designer Julie Tinker from Hope Lab who collaborated with her to make a DIY book report station at the enchanting Clio’s Bookstore in Oakland.
What to bring: Bring a book you’d like to remember. We’ll provide the rest of the materials.
NOTE: This event requires climbing 2 flights of stairs to attend. There is no elevator or lift available.
