Book Paper Scissors is an artists’ book fair, free and open to the public. 2022 marks the 13th year of the fair held at the library in collaboration with the Philadelphia Center for the Book. This festive event features artists’ books, handmade paper, prints, zines, origami, blank books, and paper sculpture and jewelry; if it’s paper-based art, it’s here. Come and buy or just be inspired! You will find gifts for everyone on your list. 

Vendor registration is now open through the Philadelphia Center for the Book. Please direct questions about about the event to: events@philadelphiacenterforthebook.org

Because this event is happening during the library's current off-hours, only the fair itself will be open to the public onthe 1st floor. Tours of Searching for a New Normal, the Philadelphia Center for the Book members' exhibition on display in 2nd floor Art Department hallway gallery and online at pcbexhibition.org, will be offered that day at 11am and 1pm.
