"Bookmaking - Evolution from Stone to Paper" was a Saturday program for all ages sponsored by Friends of the Thousand Oaks Library that offered the opportunity to observe masters of such skills as embossing, gold-leaf, hand-casting of 15th century type, binding, making paper and ink, and cutting letters in stone. More than 100 participants donated their time and skills, and an estimated 4,000 people attended. Hands-on activities for children added to the fun. Actors portraying figures from history read and told stories. The event was described by the director of the California Center for the Book as "smashing, spectacular, tremendously educational, and just pure fun."
