DESCRIPTION:The Reader Belongs to the Play: Artists’ Books and the Library
 \n\nJoin us for the final event in our series on Alphabet and Artist Books
  with special guests Clara Drummond and Maggie Welch.\n\nAsked what the pu
 rpose of a book is\, Bruno Munari\, the Italian artist\, designer\, and bo
 okmaker\, answered\, “To pass on knowledge or pleasure or\, in any case\, 
 to increase our knowledge of the world.” His books famously attempt to inc
 rease knowledge in playful ways and encouraged readers to interact with th
 e books by engaging multiple senses: to open treasure boxes or windows\, p
 eer through holes\, and turn translucent pages\, for example. This focus o
 n interactivity and engaging the multiple senses of a reader remains a pro
 minent feature of many contemporary artists' books today. Taking a 2019 st
 udent-curated exhibit Paper Play as a starting point\, we will consider ho
 w artists’ books demand play and how librarians can facilitate playful enc
 ounters in a physical and/or virtual setting. \n\nClara Drummond is a cura
 tor and exhibition coordinator at the Special Collections Library\, Penn S
 tate University. She has curated exhibitions on the secret lives of girls 
 and women\, fairy-tale wolves\, and Jane Austen\, to name a few. She holds
  a PhD in Editorial Studies from Boston University\, an MLIS from Simmons 
 University\, and was previously a curator of manuscripts at the Morgan Lib
 rary & Museum.\n\nMaggie Welch is an artist and recent Penn State grad bas
 ed in Austin TX. She worked for the Eberly Family Special Collections as t
 he Stelts-Filippelli Curatorial Intern in 2019 and 2020 and curated the ex
 hibition Paper Play\, which featured artists' books. Her work explores how
  complex ideas can be grounded in interactivity and play.\n\n\nWatch on Yo
