The Center for Books Arts
http://www.centerforbookarts.org/
The Center for Book Arts is dedicated to preserving the traditional
crafts of book-making, as well as exploring and encouraging
contemporary interpretations of the book as an art object.
Founded by Richard Minsky in 1974, it was the first non-profit
organization of its kind in the nation, and has since become
a model for others around the world. Its work is channeled
through five program areas: exhibitions related to the arts
of the book; lectures on topics of interest to book artists
and craftspeople; a modest publication schedule; services
to artists, both established and emerging and-much the most
prominent currently-an extensive offering of classes.
Each year the Center offers courses, workshops and seminars
taught by experienced book artists, and provides hands-on
training in all aspects of traditional and contemporary bookmaking,
including bookbinding, letterpress printing, papermaking,
and other associated arts.

Nutley Free Public Library, designed by Armstrong and DeGelleke,
was opened in August 1914. In January 1942, a three-story
addition, designed by Behee and Kramer, was opened to the
public. This addition was funded through a Federal Works Project
Administration Grant and local funds. In 1996, the Library
became the 70th. member of the Bergen County Cooperative Library
System(BCCLS). The Library is fully computerized and the holdings
of all the BCCLS libraries are available, as well as various
on-line computer services. The computer system is designed
to be accessible 24 hours a day via modem and/or the Internet.
The Library is also a member of the "Reciprocal Borrowing
Libraries" of Essex County and the New Jersey Library Network

Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries
http://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/rul/news/archive_03/2003_06_rul_journal.shtml
Adding further texture to the time-honored adage that "you can't judge a book by its cover," the latest issue of the Journal of the Rutgers University Libraries examines the how books themselves (or their precursors) can represent deliberate values, potent meanings, and powerful expressions - beyond the mere words contained therein. |
