UNL’s Love Library will host the “Heart & Hands 2015 - Fifth National Juried Book Art Exhibition for Students” event from April 6 through May 30.

The event will showcase the best examples of the broad range of books being made by graduate and undergraduate students in accredited academic institutions. Books made in book arts, graphic design, photography, print-making and writing courses will be on display in the cases on the second floor of Love Library.

On May 1, there will be a reception for the First Friday Art Walk of Lincoln from 5-7 p.m. There will also be a book sewing demonstration by staff in the UNL Libraries Preservation unit.

The libraries at UNL and the University of Nebraska Omaha will purchase selected award-winning books from the exhibit for their special collections. The exhibition will be sponsored by the UNL Department of Art and Art History, the UNL Libraries and the Nebraska Book Arts Center.

As the intellectual and academic hub of campus, Love Library is including art in its study spaces for students, faculty and the Nebraska community to enjoy. All exhibits are free, open to the public and accessible during the hours Love Library is open: http://libraries.unl.edu/hours.
