Sept 30 2009
Look for poet Kevin Patrick Sullivan and the Reading in Public Chair at the 9th Central Coast Book and Author Festival!

Kevin Patrick Sullivan will be sharing his poetry and if you persuade him, reading from the Chair!

Go say hello and sit and read in the chair. 
(We will have a camera in the ottoman – so be sure to snap your photo!)

Placing the first sign was far easier than we thought, whew. And we're sad that the face will be hidden by a (transparent) handle.

We are busy with our next art intervention: 

Library! an extension of ReadingInPublic.

Library!
 is a re-purposed newspaper rack converted into a traveling serendipitous book exchange,of sorts. More like a culture exchange. You may find a well worn paperback, a hardcover thriller, an artists’ sketchbook, or an actual piece of art.

A venue for creative readers who care that reading is not a lost art.

Each lending piece will have a bookplate documenting its travels and borrower information. Borrowers are encouraged to leave an item for lending too.

Library! will be placed downtown San Luis Obispo starting in October. Look for it soon at Steynberg Gallery. http://www.steynberggallery.com/

Contribute
We are looking for booksters who would like to donate a lending item to the collection.

Library! Or...

9/24/2009

 
sept 24 2009
a teaser for Reading In Public project #2. We just got our stickers back from Frank at Linson Signs (hi, Frank!). Library! will be an honor system (take a book and leave one in its place) book exchange of sorts (Catherine insists it’s more of a culture exchange) where each book will have a bookplate documenting its travels. Library! itself will start its journey at Steynberg Gallery on Monterey.
Due any day now…

Here for his WWII 86th Infantry BlackHawk Division 50th reunion and sculpture dedication at Camp San Luis!
This was his first time back in 50 years and he and his wife came early to see how much San Luis Obispo has changed.
They both love the arts and reading.
