Mimi Shapiro tonight!

Tonight is a fantastic program by MIMI SHAPIRO, a local artist!! She makes beautiful "altered books" and will be sharing her art and talents with the residents this evening, who will be presented with the opportunity to make their very own altered books from old bookmobile library books.

Mimi is also a WRITER! She writes beautiful poetry that she incorporates in her artistic books.

Mimi has received prestigious honors and awards around the world. We are blessed to have her visit the Youth Intervention Center and help us reach out to at-risk teens.

This beautiful picture featuring Mimi's art is from her web page. Please view her gallery, read her poetry, and check out her biography by visiting her at: http://www.mimiartz.com/
