BiblioCraft: The Modern Crafter's Guide To Using Library Resources To Jumpstart Creative Projects (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
This book was not what I expected at all. The second part is craft projects 'inspired' by books and sections of the library. Those were fine. Not too unique or unusual, and varied degrees of difficulty. The best and most surprising, though was the first part of the book. It describes libraries, library jargon, how to find what you want, the differences between types of libraries (it was a whole section of what librarians call BI, Bibliographic Instruction). I wish this first section was a book all its own, so I could hand it out at my library! This is a great book and especially relevant to those who love libraries. This book gives a great explanation of how to use a library and its resources and then gives examples of crafts/art/creative things that resulted from using those very same resources. It comes along at a time when librarians are trying to get the idea of 'whole library experience' across to its users. Ms Pigza bypasses the terminology and demonstrates that simply using the library and its many resources is experience enough.
