events @ the Library

Noted Brooklyn-based altered book artist Doug Beube will give a talk and slide show on “The Alternative Library: The Book in the Environment,” looking at the fact that books, which we may not think of as books at all, are everywhere in the environment. He will also discuss how, with the advent of the computer, many books are thrown away by individuals and institutions around the globe, and how fortunately many are reclaimed by artists.
