Denver Bookbinding Company is hosting their delightful Trunk-or-Treat event again this year. And in the week leading up to Trunk-or-Treat, the bindery will play host to storytelling for the kids (or kids at heart).
3D storytelling begins Saturday, October 23, 5:30-7pm and runs nightly through Sunday, October 31.
This is an outdoor event — spooks and zombies will take over the second story windows of the bindery, creating a visually arresting show. At the same time, seasonal stories are piped out to the front of the building. You can watch the creep show and listen to a story. Listeners can bring a blanket, chairs or stay in their cars. The storytelling and singing repeats each evening at the same time.
On Saturday, October 30th from 5:30-7p.m., local families, businesses and nonprofits are sponsoring a Trunk-or-Treat event. The parking lot can hold up to 40 vehicles and we will take reservations for a trunk space until we are filled. No reservations are needed for the storytelling or for attending Trunk-or-Treat that night with kids. There will be prizes for the two best decorated trunks! Send us an email at [email protected] to reserve a trunk space or for additional info about the event.
Dusty Cover — a little history about books and our bindery
“The history of books became an acknowledged academic discipline in the 1980s. Contributors to the discipline include specialists from the fields of textual scholarship, codicology, bibliography, philology, palaeography, art history, social history and cultural history. Its key purpose is to demonstrate that the book as an object, not just the text contained within it, is a conduit of interaction between readers and words.” — History of books, Wikipedia
