Papermaking Demonstration

What's that mysterious contraption on the library patio? It's a Hollander beater, a historic paper pulping machine, and we'll be using it to turn rags and plant fiber into beautiful sheets of handmade paper. Help Ellen test-run our papermaking process at demonstrations throughout the month of May. We'll be cutting up rags, mixing pulp, and generally seeing what happens so that we are ready for formal papermaking classes this summer. You might get the chance to make your own test sheet of paper!
This is an outdoor activity and will be held weather permitting.
