Did I hear correctly...librarians are encouraging students to cut, rip, fold, glue, paint, and stamp in books!? YES!!! Welcome to an altered book program for teens!
What is an altered book?
According to the International Society of Altered Book Artists, "It is any book, old or new that has been recycled by creative means into a work of art. They can be ... rebound, painted, cut, burned, folded, added to, collaged in, gold-leafed, rubber stamped, drilled or otherwise adorned ... and yes! It is legal!"

In the following posts I will explain how to easily host an altered book program for teens at the library or as part of a unit of study at school.
