Erin Nash, the Upcycling Librarian.
“I was a librarian and I saw that many people donated books to our library that we couldn’t use. Some of those books had beautiful covers or illustrations. So about eight years ago I began disassembling unwanted books and using the materials to make various paper products. I use beautiful old book covers to make journals with blank pages, or a personalized book containing a customer’s treasured family letters or documents. I also make bookmarks and sell illustrations taken from old books.”
“I have an ETSY shop called UpcyclingLibrarian, but most of my sales are made person to person. I sell at various markets and POPUP events. Potential customers can learn my schedule by following me on Instagram at @upcyclinglibrarian or emailing me at [email protected]“
