December 5, 2011 - January 31, 2012

Using books as subject matter, raw material, and inspiration, Cover to Cover was created by artsTRIBE, a collaborative group of six artists who explore common themes and exhibit together.  This traveling exhibition combines the mission of the public library as a book sanctuary/repository, with the mission of artists, and invites the public to interact with books and literary themes in a new way.  The Verona Public Library is the final venue to show this exhibition, on tour since 2010.
