Events › Japanese Origami Book Box

Discover how to use Japanese origami and other colorful papers, and a small box to make a unique caterpillar-style book that you can use as a mini scrapbook or journal, and as a place to keep little treasures.

Due to high demand, we ask that community members sign up for a single occurrence of this series so that as many community members as possible can participate in this experience. Registration is required to attend.

Class is limited to 20 spots (10 will be available for in-person registration and 10 will be available for online registration).

In-person registration begins at the Brisbane Library on Saturday, May 9, at 10:00 AM.
Because of the limited number of spots, each patron must register individually; registration on behalf of others is not permitted.

Online registration begins Saturday, May 16, at 10:00 AM.

If this program sparks your curiosity, check out the rest of the One Book, One Coast series and deepen your engagement by reading They Called Us Enemy—a powerful story bringing Japanese American history to life through the deeply personal narrative at the heart of the series. Check it out in print or starting April 1, when unlimited digital copies of They Called Us Enemy will be available on both the Libby app and Hoopla platforms for San Mateo County Libraries cardholders—no holds or wait times required.
