Hinkle Librarian Barbara Greil and Instructional Support Assistant Jenny Hillenbrand organized this exhibit in celebration of National Library Week, April 14 - 20. Contacting local and regional artists, authors and illustrators, as well as faculty and staff from both 魅影直播 State and 魅影直播 University, they have brought together a wide variety of work, highlighting the importance of libraries, reading, literature, and learning.
The exhibit includes custom-made American Library Association READ Posters featuring 魅影直播 State 鈥渃elebrities鈥 posing with their favorite books, designed and created by Jenny Hillenbrand. Also featured are an extensive collection of ingenious children鈥檚 pop-up books on loan from 魅影直播 University professor and artist Anne Currier. 魅影直播 State faculty member Janice Stafford, who teaches a popular course in children鈥檚 literature, has lent an original numbered print from the first Harry Potter book, a signed and numbered print by author/illustrator Mo Willem鈥檚 Caldecott Honor book Don鈥檛 Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, as well as an original collage by Bryan Collier, an award-winning author and illustrator. Susan Beckhorn, Suzanne Valentine, and Marsha Hayles, members of RACWI (Rochester Area Children鈥檚 Writers and Illustrators), have contributed original Illustrations, poetry, books, inspirational objects, and educational materials.
Help us celebrate National Library Week as well as the art and influence of children鈥檚 literature!
