January 27: Biblio Week Open House

Never able to visit us on a First Tuesday evening? Then join us on a Thursday in the daytime!

Thursday, January 27

Bibliophiles, printers, binders, collectors, librarians, curators, educators, artists, students, and the curious are all welcome to attend the annual Biblio Week Booklyn Open House.

The fun includes a "please touch the art" exhibition of contemporary artist books ranging from the photocopied and stapled to the letterpressed and handbound, as well as bookbinding demonstrations, refreshments, and thrilling conversation with Booklyn artists and staff.

What's Biblio Week, you ask? Well, in the words of the esteemed Grolier Club:

BIBLIOGRAPHY WEEK happens each year at the end of January when the principal national organizations devoted to book history have their annual meetings. Other groups plan interesting events, too, since so many bibliophiles are in town. Some meetings and events are open to Grolier members only, but otherwise you are encouraged to show up everywhere: get a sense of what is going on in the book world, hear some interesting papers, schmooze over cocktails.

Learn more about the Biblio Week schedule by visiting the Grolier Club website.
