A "Treasure Chest" of Rare Books is Explored at Foothills Elementary

Submitted by corallee.findlay on

Mrs. Tanner from the University of Utah Marriott Library Book Arts Program spent a whole day with fifth-grade students at Foothills Elementary in Salem, Utah.  She shared with them a “treasure chest” of rare books.  Students were able to view and handle hand-painted scrolls, a clay tablet, a palm leaf book, and more.  Students discovered how to make a variety of books and were able to “write” on their very own clay tablet.
