This month, there is an interactive literary exhibition, in a gallery in Hobart.
113 books are on display.
Multiple copies are available to pick up and read, to take over to a chair. Drinks and snacks are on hand.
There are various events, book club discussions, audience with authors, silent reading parties.
We visited the gallery on a rainy Saturday. Randomly, I chose a book, chose a page and took a photo of the text. I’m amazed at the variety of content, prose, fiction, poetry, autobiography, even opera with music score.
I want to visit again and get inside more of these books.

What a lovely exhibition. I clicked on the link and also like how they have made the website look like old catalogue cards! The colour arrangement is pleasing too: it’s a running joke in libraries that people will come in and ask for a book with no author or title but they know the colour of the cover! Occasionally we could solve it.

It was interesting. I keep a list of authors and recommendations, I think I have been that person, asking about a book, story, not knowing the title or author!

Ha ha! The other thing we used to get was students with quotes the wanted to use but hadn’t kept the reference. You have to be a bit of a detective in a library sometimes!

Very interesting… and though provoking!
Are all the authors local? If not… maybe I can see my short story collection on those shelves next year! 😉
