More Than Words

Art Inspired by Books and Poems

In collaboration with the Belmont Public Library’s ONE BOOK ONE BELMONT
Community Read of  “The Library Book” by Susan Orlean

More Than Words Postcard

Just as a library
is more than a temple of books,
a book is More Than Words.  

Imagination is kindled to life by stories and poems, transported in time and place, provoked into emotion, guided to new knowledge.
