One of our Signature Events, Book Paper Scissors is an annual celebration of book arts, printmaking, and paper crafts, hosted by the Free Library, and featuring a variety of artists as well as educational workshops.

We are doing things a bit different this year. We are asking for 2 images for marketing purposes and to make a guide to the vendors at the fair, and we are offering an online payment option.

You can still mail in your form and check as usual, or you can e-mail your form to events@philadelphiacenterforthebook.org and then receive a Paypal request for payment. You do not have to have a Paypal account, you can pay using your debit or credit card.

You also have the option to renew your membership via PayPal. Memberships renewed at this time are good through December 2013.
