An Exhibit Presented by the Friends of the Fernandina Beach Library, July 7 – August 27, at the Fernandina Beach Library, the Community Room. Art is all around us. Walk into our public library and you will see a kaleidoscope of color and imagery. Books line the shelves and are sometimes displayed with the covers facing out to entice the reader. Before a reader turns a single page, before a critic writes a review, before a story finds its audience, the cover speaks first. It whispers mystery, announces authority, seduces curiosity, or radiates emotion. With thousands of books lining the shelves, the cover often determines whether a reader pauses or moves on. The art of the book cover sits at the intersection of literature, marketing, psychology, typography, and visual storytelling. It is both commercial and artistic. It must attract attention while remaining faithful to the spirit of the text inside. So why are covers designed the way they are? How do they influence our reading decisions? The art committee of the Fernandina Beach Friends of the Library decided to find out. They researched “The Art of the Book Cover” and put together a show that will be on exhibit in the Community Room of the Fernandina Beach Public Library. Come and learn about the history of publishing book covers, the science of the book cover design, the influence of e-books and independent book sellers and much more. We hope you will be enlightened and entertained by “The Art of the Book Cover” show that opens July 7th and runs until August 27th. A book cover is a promise. And we promise to make this exploration enjoyable and informative to all. Please join us this summer at the Library. It’s going to be fun!
