SUMMARY:DIY Book Cover Making Workshop at JFT Library
DESCRIPTION:  \nWrap your book in Japan style! \nDid you know that in Japan\, when you buy a book at a bookstore\, you are often asked: “Would you like a cover?” \nThe bookstore staff will then carefully wrap your book in a perfectly fitted paper cover. These book covers (or dust covers) are more than just decoration; they protect books from scratches\, preserve their appearance\, and allow readers privacy when reading in public. On trains\, in cafés\, or in parks across Japan\, you’ll often see people reading books wrapped in these covers. \nNow\, you can experience this tradition in Toronto! Bring along a book you’d like to cover—it can be your current read or a book gift for someone special!\nYou can use paper provided at the library\, or bring your favorite wrapping paper or paper shopping bag to make it personal. \nIn Japan\, autumn is often called 「読書の秋」(dokusho no aki)—the season of reading. Let’s celebrate this season by giving your book a Japan-style handmade cover while connecting with fellow book/craft lovers! \n*Participation age: Children (around 6 years old and up) and adults are welcome to participate. \n  \nEvent Schedule\nSpaces are limited. Please RSVP to book your space.\n[Registration for this event is now full. If you wish to be notified when a cancelled slot becomes available\, please join the waitlist on Eventbrite.] \n11:30 am – 12:45 pm  Workshop #1  \n2:15 pm – 3:30 pm     Workshop #2  \n4:00 pm – 5:15 pm     Workshop #3 ** \n*JFT Library is open to the public from 11:30 am to 4:30 pm on Saturday\, October 25\, 2025. Feel free to explore our physical collection before or after the workshop! \n**Attendees of workshop #3 may stay after the library closes for the public until their session ends at 5:15 pm. \nRegister Here
