Research suggests that teaching children to make books actually improves their reading skills. Since 1974, the Center for Book Arts has been actively teaching and promoting the craft of bookmaking, both ancient and contemporary. More than 130 exhibits involving 2,600 artists have been presented during the last 20 years, and more than 200 artists a year use the center's fully equipped printshop and bindery. Typical exhibits include Latin American Book Arts, The International Library, and This Day in History, the center's annual artist members' exhibition.
