As with many programs, Book Paper Scissors is going to be a little different in 2020. In lieu of gathering together we are asking our members and supporters to join us in a virtual Book Paper Scissors across Instagram and Facebook. Use #bookpaperscissors #philadelphiacenterforthebook #mybookpaperscissors and tag us online with your pictures of past purchases, work you made to share at BPS, re-share posts from your favorite BPS artists, or anything you think speaks to the fun and connection of BPS.
In celebration of years past, we’re including a selection of postcard images and participant lists of the artists and organizations that have been part of Book Paper Scissors.
