News and Notices

You don’t need to be a fisherman to enjoy the collection in our display case for the month of March. The books on the subject collected by Gary Smith are stunning examples of the book-binder’s art. Gold leaf and illuminated cover illustrations in the “Arts and Crafts” style have produced lovely books that are a real catch.

Ever wanted to suggest that the library should have a Suggestion Box? Your wish is our command. Find it on the front counter. We’d like to hear from you.

If you love books and libraries (and who doesn’t?), check out two recent, very sumptuous books celebrating them. “Remarkable Books” is an overview of the production of hand-lettered and early printed historic works. “The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World” by Guillaume deLaubier will take your breath away.
