In February 2012, the library launched the Artist Curated Book Display series, which invites an artist from the community to create a display of ten items that inspire them from the library collections. Alongside the display the artist will showcase an example of their work.
The program is an opportunity for artists to share their work with the public and to emphasize how the public library is a resource for creativity.
Roger Goldenberg, a Portsmouth artist, known for his jazz-inspired, highly textured abstract work, has curated the first display. Future artists will be announced in advance on the library's website and through its Facebook and Twitter pages.
For more photographs of the current display, visit our Flickr set.
Here is the list of library materials that inspired Roger to create his works:
