Design by the Book, Episode One.

This fall I’ve been working away on an amazing project–a series of small documentaries following five talented local artists as they gather inspiration for their work at the New York Public Library. Co-produced by Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge and my library colleagues in Digital Labs, this series will be released over the next few weeks. The first episode is now out, and you can watch here:

I never guessed that such a project would be part of my job as a librarian. But the work of this series perfectly complements my role as a connector of people with the collections that will serve them best. And creating these connections is what I love about my job more than anything else. I’ll continue to post news about the series here, so stay tuned.
