The program began first with a presentation of fiction books in scrapbook form. Books like United Tates of America by Paula Danzinger, Dear Ellen Bee by Mary E. Lyons were shared. Adult mystery writer Laura Childs writes a mystery series about scrapbooking shop owner/amateur sleuth Carmela Bertrand. Each title includes scrapbook tips. Juvenile books to look at include: Aunt Claire's Yellow Beehive Hair by Deborah Blumenthal, Stringbean’s Trip to the Shining Sea by Vera Williams, and any of the Amelia books by Marissa Moss. We also looked at old scrapbooks. We talked about what people put in their scrapbooks. We then looked at nonfiction books about scrapbooks. Recommended books include: Almost-instant Scrapbooks by Laura Check and Making Memory Albums by Amanda Lewis. We also looked at unusual book structures that work as scrapbooks. For instance, a concertina book has pockets to put ticket stubs or other memorabilia. Then kids were given materials and allowed to make their own scrapbooks.
