"We all have damaged or out-of-date books that we’ve weeded from our library. MHMS Upcycled Book Art Gallery Walk from my IG Our Art Teacher does this and we always love to provide gallery and brainstorming space! Maybe she gets some of our weeded books OR maybe she uses donated books from the kids and Shoebox painted with black paint that has keyboard keys and circuitīoards glued to it.
