Iowa City Public Library Altered Books Exhibit & Silent Auction
June 5, 2009, 5 p.m.-7 pm
Iowa City Public Library, Meeting Room A
Stop by to marvel at and bid on unique artwork that began life as books! While the original book may have been read for its literary meaning, the altered book seeks to be "read" for different meaning, often in conversation with the original intent of the text. Generous members of the Iowa City community create these special works of art and donate them to be sold by the Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation to benefit the Library. The Iowa City Public Library Friends Foundation hosts the third annual silent auction of "Altered Books" to help kick off the Iowa Arts Festival weekend.
