Judge a Book By Its Cover
Literature Department at Parkway Central Library
The Literature department's new display, Judge a Book by Its Cover, explores how the outside of a book conveys what is inside through artwork and design. Learn about marbled papers and other adornments on older books and book construction through newer books. There’s something for everyone!
Visit us on the 2nd floor of Parkway Central Library Monday through Thursday from 9am to 8pm and Friday from 9am to 5pm. You can explore other books in our vault and magazine collections while you’re here. Just ask a librarian at the reference desk about seeing more beautiful books in our collection.
