Lunch with the Libraries & Museums - Artists’ Books from A to B and Back Again

Presented in partnership with Lifelong Learning and Hopkins at Home, Lunch with the Libraries & Museums is a series of free, online, public lectures through which staff from the Sheridan Libraries & University Museums discuss ongoing research, teaching, and curatorial work.

What do a miniature mannequin dummy, a 30-year-old noodle, and a bound set of keys have in common? They’re all artist books, imaginative works that push the boundaries of traditional bookmaking and challenge how we define books, storytelling, and reading itself.

Join Special Collections Outreach Librarian Heidi Herr to explore the fascinating genre of book arts, discover highlights from the Sheridan Libraries collections, and get a sneak peek at our recently acquired archive of renowned book artist Maureen Cummins.
