BiblioTech, the College Book Art Association’s juried members' exhibition on display in the Skylight Gallery through March 11th, is sponsored by the library's Marjorie G. and Carl W. Stern Book Arts and Special Collections Center and the College Book Art Association. Book Arts: Selections from the Grabhorn Collection, a related exhibition on display directly outside the San Francisco History Center, is running concurrently and is not to be missed.

"This show is testimony that a book is still a celebrated object, and the artists' books in it transcend the bookshelf, at once encompassing the historical and the digital." 
Macy Chadwick, CBAA Exhibitions Chair.
