Bookshelves is a play on the beauty, richness, and diverse objects commonly included on traditional bookshelves (a globe, a decoy, a bust, a violin) at the entrance of the Claremont Library. Shelves of books are concentrated storehouses of human expression. Even within a small space a bookshelf can contain a vast range of writing that expresses the depth and breadth of human experience. Bookshelves pays tribute to libraries and to reading books!
