BPL's Staff Arts & Crafts Show, Oct. 2-Oct. 28,07
The Second Annual BPL's Staff Arts and Crafts Show this year is growing a little bigger-twenty one people have signed up compare to only twelve last year. It's nice to see that the show is getting more popular and appreciate not only from staff but also from the patrons as well since Pat M. (Art & Music's previous supervisor) and I started the show. Below are some of our works and comments from staff and patrons of Berkeley Public Library.
Some of the artwork from the Berkeley Public Library's Staff Arts and Crafts Show this year.

I had never thought of origami as art. It's very beautiful!

The cats are creepy.

Wow! I am very impressed by the hidden talents lurking in the library! Would love to see more!

Origami earrings-who would ever know? A book filled w/origami characters read like Braille or code, waiting to be unfolded. Tantalizing.
Russia, beautiful woman, swan, silkworm...?

Man, what wonderful artists in our midst!!! I'm so very impressed with the depth, breadth & variety of media. Kudos to all!
Richard B.
Love all the skull paintings, just in time for Dia de los Muertes.

Erin,
Use an art class as tool, if need be. But most importantly KEEP PAINTING! You have a natural gift.
A patron
That is cool art with the popsicle.

Awesome stuff! I love the Turtle.
Tara Taylor
If this is one of the benefits of working for the Berkeley Public Library, I want to work here. Great Art, truly.
Boronda
I like the fact of this exhibition. We have such talent & accomplishment here, and most of us go about not knowing much about the people behind the desks. Thank you.
Ay
It's all beautiful & gave me a great feeling that the library appreciates the talents of themselves. The origami is yummy. More-Berkeley should do this w/every institution!

I'm most moved to see the Battle star Galactica Viper! Do you have access to the Roving Vehicle? Also, was hoping to see some memorabilia from the hit show "Land of the Lost" (chaka or a sleestak)
John
Thanks! Very enjoyable after a session of hard bookwork.
