Bookmaking, Not Bookmaking, Tonight [VIDEO]

”A bookmaker, bookie, or turf accountant is an organization or a person that takes bets on sporting and other events at agreed upon odds.”

- according to Wikipedia.

But I’ll bet, pun intended, that you might find another bookmaking of interest and without the chance of getting hauled away in handcuffs for an extended stay at the graybar hotel. Bookmaking, or bookbinding is a craft that has been fading in this era of technology. But just as we have seen a resurgence in vinyl records and a lighter return to film photography, bookbinding is still a valid concept who’s product isn’t as prone to destruction by eletromagnetic pulse as are it’s digital cousins.

You can learn the art of bookmaking in The Storytime Room of The Laramie County Public Library 2200 Pioneer Ave, Cheyenne, tonight from 6 – 8 p.m.. This is for adults and participants can come away with a finished piece. Space is limited so you may want to call 634-3561 before you go or check online.
