The Naperville Public Library is upcycling damaged books to give them a new chapter in life.

Recycling & Redecorating

With some pots, plants, and pages, the Recycled Book Creations Club got to decorate their own succulent planters for an afternoon summer activity at Nichols Library.

“I just like that it’s kind of relaxing and you get to come home with something cool,” said attendee, 13-year-old Elizabeth.

More Events

The teen club creates more than just planters with book pages.

They’ll also be making necklaces on July 17 and hedgehogs on August 7.

Registration for those are on the library’s website.
