The Friends of the Perry Public Library are holding their fall scrapbook fundraiser Saturday in the community room of the Perry Public Library.
The marathon event runs from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.
Some 15 local craftpersons attended the daylong event, an increase on the 11 participants in the spring scrapbook event.
Proceeds from the creative craft event help support the Perry Public Library’s programming.
The registration fee included an 8-foot table space and electrical outlet, plus lunch, supper, dessert, snacks and beverages.
The British novelist Virginia Woolf, in here late work, “Between the Acts,” wrote about the fragility of memory and its central importance in the work of culture and civilization.
“Look at ourselves, ladies and gentlemen! Then at the wall;” said a voice in Woolf’s novel, “and ask how’s this wall, the great wall, which we call, perhaps miscall, civilization, to be built by (here the mirrors flicked and flashed) orts, scraps and fragments like ourselves?”
