Re: Recycling old books from the library
Posted by Marilyn Brackney on 4/03/02

    Why not make book safes? These are great for storing small
    valuables, and I keep one on my bookshelf with important
    information inside.

    To make one all you need are a hardback book,utility knife,
    ruler, rubber band, and some white glue. If you're working
    with kids, the adult should do all the cutting.

    Open the book. Leaf through twenty or so pages, and place the
    rubber band around the cover and pages to keep them out of the
    way.

    Lay the ruler on the next pages, and cut through with the
    utility knife. Continue moving the ruler and cutting until
    you've cut out a square or rectangle section from the center
    of the pages. Remove the section and set aside.

    Kids can glue the pages together on the inside of the square
    opening. Leave it open to dry for several hours. Kids will
    enjoy making these, and they'll have fun storing their special
    treasures inside.
