Mountain Iron, MN, April 4, 2025 ─ The Arrowhead Library System (ALS) will be providing No Ordinary Scrap Journal Take & Create Kits for member public libraries to distribute May 5 – 30, 2025.
Turn a paper journal and a collection of household and scrap papers into a personalized, unique book that brings out your creativity. This art experience, as designed by Artist Mary Mulari, is “a relaxed and fun cousin to scrapbooking” and there are no rules! Design your journal with a theme such as travel or memories of 2025, or a free spirit style collection of concert tickets, postcards, nature scenes, and sketching. This journal will be an eclectic treasure and the start of a new way to save and record your memories.
These Take and Make Kits are appropriate for adults, teens and children ages 10 and up. All supplies are included, and suggestions for additional materials are included. An instructional video for the Take and Create Kit will be available for this art experience.
