Wait– it’s December? Already?
Yes friends, 2016 is drawing to a close, but there’s still plenty of enlightening and exciting arts + library goodness to cram into the end of the year. And don’t forget our open call for stories about #InclusiveCreativity! We’re working on our features for 2017 already, and with your help, we’ll be able to continue the conversation.
Cheers!

TOP FEATURES
- We love talking with artists about their work– even better when that artist is a bookbinder! Yohana Doudoux’ wonderful work was featured this week, highlighting the work she does to draw the story from a text and represent it in the binding (like the extraordinary cover of Shakespeare’s sonnets above!)
- Re-visiting a favorite from last year: A look at the Guitar Lending Collection at Licking County Library. Gotta love musical instruments as a resource!
- Welcome to Bronzeville at Milwaukee Public Library captures the way that performing artists can create a hands-on and interactive experience for youth in the library.
AROUND THE INTERNETS
The library helps you see that you’re not really any different from everyone else…a human being is a human being. ~Maya Angelou
- Love that quote? Read more from the incomparable Maya Angelou in this interview.
- LOVE this idea: Make a Book Advent Calendar! Awesome whether you celebrate Christmas or not!
- If your library uses Google Scholar this is a cool thing to know: Building a Google Scholar search form
- A charming vending machine that produces short stories for commuters to read on their way to work.
