\u201cIn month six of the project we had to pause because of the COVID-19 pandemic but, after the first lockdown, restrictions were relaxed, and libraries were able to open again. So, there I was in the library sketching in my mask and visor. What I observed was very moving – customers were obviously really pleased to be back in the library and speak to someone and get some support.
\n 
\n“It really brought home the importance of libraries and the additional services they offer. Throughout the lockdown, libraries were invaluable in being that fourth emergency service.\u202f They are extraordinary places, run by and visited by extraordinary people.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sandy Horsley is a Suffolk-based illustrator and printmaker who was asked to capture libraries over one year, one day each month. The project began in 2019 and after having to pause for the first lockdown, Sandy was able to visit libraries when they reopened.<\/p>\n

Her work turned into a unique snapshot of how library staff, customers and the people of Suffolk adapted during COVID-19.\u202f\u202fFollowing the residency, Sandy\u2019s sketches were used to create a set of original individual prints and a concertina book \u2013 reflecting the year she has spent visiting libraries.\u202f<\/p>\n

Incorporating traditional library imagery, such as date stamps and hand-made index card pockets, Sandy embraced the essence of libraries in her artworks and at the same time captured the spirit of libraries in modern times – their energy, vibrancy and diversity.<\/p>\n
