Way back in 2006, the UW Digital Collections added 60 Books, 60 Libraries to our online exhibits. This collection was a collaborative book arts, writing and journaling project for the people of south central Wisconsin. The books were originally hosted by the South Central L
ibrary System (SCLS), and produced by the Bone Folders’ Guild (BFG), a book arts group based in Madison. The BFG book artists created sixty handmade blank books. Each book was catalogued into each of the sixty libraries in the South Central Library System. Unlike other library books, patrons were invited to write, draw, paint or collage in the books, producing community-wide collaborative works of art.
Browse through artwork from Baraboo, read the poems of Lodi and enjoy the drawings of kids from throughout the library system. The creativity of community is on display in this beautiful collection of books.
