NYPL – “In addition to her duties as a librarian, Jessica teaches classes on the history of handmade books, finding vintage craft and DIY library resources. She has an active personal blog at www.HandmadeLibrarian.com and also created Hand-Made, a NYPL blog that highlights the Library’s DIY/craft/material culture collections. Together with Maura Madden (author of Crafternoon), she co-hosts Handmade Crafternoon, a free monthly DIY series at the NYPL, which connects artists with library users through hands-on projects that draw creative inspiration from the Library’s collections.”
