Before they were made for children, pop-up books were made for adults. In this event led by Suzanne Karr Schmidt, curator of Pop-Up Books through the Ages, you’ll discover the surprisingly provocative content of pop-up books of the past.

Marrow and Dr. Emily Rose, Alan Templeton, Diane and Richard Weinberg, and The Movable Book Society.
