The Book to Art Club.

Paper townsThe Book to Art Club launched this September, and is an extension of the Library as Incubator Project. Its aim is "to explore literature through discussion and hands-on creative projects".

So far, they've covered The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Art Forger, The Language of FlowersZ: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, and this month, they're working with John Green's Paper Towns

It's a really cool concept, not just connecting art to books, but CREATING art that's inspired by books. Anyway, it's a cool website & a good resource, and a lot of the basic ideas could be easily incorporated into book groups (or classrooms), regardless of age level.

(I mean, I think a lot of storytimes already incorporate themed crafts, as do book groups for younger readers. And way back when, I always did a craft with my high school book group, too, but somewhere along the way, I stopped. I'll have to Bring It Back when I get a high school book group up and running at my new library.)
