Books Come Alive in North County Library Holiday Exhibit
For the past 18 years, Sebastian River Art Club members Thelma Koopman, Kathleen Richter, Peni Baker and others have created beautiful Holiday murals at the North County Library.
This, the 19th year of the Art Club’s Holiday Presentation, is entitled “Everyone’s Once Upon A Time” and has taken a new and unexpected approach. Members Sheila Lougheed and Susan Lavender, the conceivers and primary creators of the display, make books living things in a fun and fascinating show---no matter what your age or interests may be, but especially appealing to children.
In this year’s Holiday exhibit, books actually “come alive”. Their pages are full of appropriate miniature pop-ups created by Sheila and Susan along with small pieces: trees, houses, toys, photographs, and drawings by Art Club members.
Members with a teaching background are developing age-appropriate questionnaires relating to the books. For children, it will be like “Where’s Waldo?” - but this will be based on “Can you find this character?” or “Do you see a book that you’ve read?”
This has been a collaborative effort from Art Club members, who revisited their own innocence, joy and discovery through children’s books while constructing the village. It opens October 31st at the North County Library on Sebastian Boulevard. It will be donated to the library in its entirety when the show ends January 1st.
