Help us reuse materials! Collins Library and Copy Services are running a PILOT project to reuse paper to create small notebooks for students.  We need your clean cereal, cracker, cookie and frozen pizza boxes to complete our project.

Please help us by depositing your clean pressboard in the box at the front of the library.

Collins Library Reading Room

Book artist Helen Hiebert will be presenting November 10, 2011, in Collins Library, Room 020 from 7-8 p.m. This event is co-sponsored by the Puget Sound Book Artists. (Library Hours – Library located off corner of N.18th and Warner St.)

Nationally recognized paper and book artist, Helen Hiebert of Portland, Oregon, will share examples of her most recent work, including String Theory, a suite of string drawings inspired by knot illustrations in The Ashley Book of Knots, the Mother Tree Project, a traveling community installation, and her film Water Paper Time, which explores how external forces such as time, gravity and molecular structure bend, tear and wrinkle Hiebert’s handmade paper, producing startlingly allusive and organic forms which recall the fibers and plants that the artist used in the paper-making process.
