 Should I just give an introduction? Hi. My name is Tricia Bolton, and this is Louisa Bueno. And this is our Fletcher-free body project that we did inspired by a conversation we had with someone who works here named Barbara. She was making a lot of allegories between parts of the library and parts of a body. So this is our prosthetic leg, which was the allegory for the ravine and the construction effort that happened after an earthquake disrupted the foundation of the building. So we kind of wanted to show like, you know, re-growing from bodily trauma and becoming better and being able to stand on your own two legs, because the bones are more of an allegory for just like the structure of the building and how it like stands up. So we thought this was a cool way to represent like growing from an injury and you know, keep on going on, I don't know. But yeah, I like how I did the hatching in this. And then I like how I used acrylic to kind of create a metal effect. That's one of my favorite parts of the piece. I try to do a little more of that up here, but I don't know. I really like the use of like the paint medium we did. We didn't really have like, we actually only had white, black and red when you were doing this project. So those were the only colors we used, which was kind of a challenge because I definitely think that using like paint to create details in areas was pretty cool. But I liked that we used white for like the highlights of this piece. I think it like makes parts go forward and adds a lot of depth that we wouldn't have had otherwise. So like the each part has, it's labeled with the body part and the room that it represents. And then the labels like go into like bigger or deeper detail as to how they relate and such. Some of the labels also have pictures of each part of the library so that people have like a visual representation. And also with the new leg and support beam, it as well as an analogy of the library itself and how it works, it also gives a little bit of history based on the support beams which were basically built into the wall because the library was built on a poorly filled in ravine so they had to put support beams in the wall to make it so that the library wouldn't collapse. So for the quilling part up here, we used blue and red to represent the left brain and right brain to represent like those different sides of the brain and to add more color and such. We made one side blue and one side red. The point of this is basically just to like teach kids more about how the library works and get them interested in coming and just to build community in the Burlington area. Hi, my name is Kagan Smith. I did a project called Community Book Recommendations and it involved putting posters around the library with just fun designs, something to catch the eye. I got a title, just what's your favorite book and there's big empty spaces on all the posters that you would write in. So what you would do, the idea for this project is you would see the QR code and you would scan it and it would redirect to a Google form and then it does just a couple of questions. Right now the form just says, oh, what's your favorite book and just like what's your name, how old are you kind of thing and that's all there is for now. It might change in the future. It just has, it's very kind of fluid right now. And then I took the recommendations that I have now from both my prototypes and just from last week when I had first set this up and put in here. So we have Murder on the Orient Express is someone's recommendation from the Google form. This specific design is made for this like teen space so I tried to make something that fit the space specifically. Whereas there are two other posters in the area. There's one in the manga and comic section and there's one in the mystery section. Those two posters though are identical but I went for a different design that I thought would fit that sort of idea better. Hi, I'm Nick Dalton and I am the creator of History Videos. And this particular project is a history documentary video about the history of the Fletcher Free Library in which it's a six minute video and where I debrief various aspects of the Fletcher Free Library's history from the day it was created all the way up to the present day and even some future plans. I cover it all the way back in like the 1870s, 1970s and then obviously today. And I designed this poster and the whole project as a whole around the QR code on the poster where people can take like their phone and scan the QR code and they would get direct access to the video because the video is hosted on YouTube. And the reason why I chose to host it on YouTube is ease of access since YouTube is a public platform with a lot of people on it. And I figured hosting the video there would get a lot of people to be able to view it very easily. So I designed five of these posters and they're hung around the library and I put the QR code on there to allow people to be able to access the video and just taking the QR code, takes it to the video and that's pretty much it. Favorite portion of the video is me talking about the 1980s renovation because I show some old archived pictures from the history room that I was very surprised to find myself and I really like showcasing those since it shows the overall additions, originality and when it was before all the shelves were put in and back when it was brand new and I really think it's awesome and I really love that part of the video. And also just actually going to go take the pictures of those old photographs was really interesting because I was really surprised I even found those. So yeah, that was probably something that I would say that it was the most interesting. My name is Olive. I did a project with Kagan. It's kind of like the part two and basically the idea is to promote reading by recommending books from visitors and from library staff. So my portion of the project kind of focused on the library and participation and the idea was that they create an art piece based on the book they'd like to recommend and then it's hung up around the library and there's QR code available for visitors to recommend their own books. Yeah, so I actually originally I wanted to take more of a physical approach with bigger physical displays and the reason behind that is because I feel like it draws people in a little bit more. It's more eye-catching. It grabs people's attention and makes you wanna go over and see what it is versus something digital, you know, it's smaller. It's more accessible everywhere, even outside the library. So having a physical display is kind of a way of getting people in and looking around and engaging with the art itself as well as like the library, the people in the library. My favorite book, oh, I am a big fan of Catcher and the Rye. That's up there, it's one of my favorites. Yeah, thank you. I'm Sandy Harrison and my project is like the community bench project and the original idea for my project was actually to actually build a physical bench outside that would actually aid the homeless population within the area. But due to like budgetary restrictions and like not having the time or resources, I've had to kind of put it into this, make it into this. So basically what I'm doing is like having the community come and build prototypes of benches that they would want outside of the library because even when I was doing my original plan, I didn't know what it was gonna look like. I was planning on asking the community anyway. So I thought the prototype was a good idea to get people involved in the project and like actually thinking about my original idea. Well, I've lived in Burlington for like almost two years now and I mean, it's kind of hard to live in Burlington and not notice like the homeless population around and I've actually talked to a lot of the homeless in the area and I like them a lot. I think they're really good people, most of them. And I just feel for them and I wanna use my art and my influence for good and not just for nothing. I wanted to actually make an impact. I mean, I really would want to, that was my original goal and what I really wanted to do and accomplish is make an artistic bench that could serve not only to like attract people to the library but also help out the, you know, population around and I don't know, I mean, it's my hope that it will but I, you know, like you said, it is such a debated topic and not everybody's gonna agree with whatever, you know. So it's kind of up to the, it's up to the library really. My name is Nicole Sylvester and my project is based off of what's your favorite book series and the reason why I originally picked it was because when you read a book series, oftentimes you wanna share it with other people so you're like, you've gotta read this book, it's awesome. I loved it, you need to read this. So I thought, why not share your favorite book series with other people and then give a chance for other people to write down their own and if you've never read it or you're curious about it, you can just take one of these and go find out if it's something that you're interested in. I also was thinking about doing the color-coded things so it would be like a little key over here, like each color is a different kind of book series. So if you like the specific kind, like if you like Nancy Drew, for example, if you like the kind of mystery detective thing or if you were more the maze runner which is like more actiony and less detective. So yeah, and people have different interests so you might not be interested in Winnie the Pooh or the Hunger Games, but if you like Harry Potter, then there are other suggestions that people could make, like this book is also about wizards and schools and if you like this, you can have a chance at this. So you could put, if you like Harry Potter, check this out. I'm Sonia Hill and this is my elevated reading project. Basically, it's just in a response to the elevator being out of commission in the upcoming days. I don't know one exactly, but soon, ideally it's getting fixed and while it's getting fixed, people are gonna need like a space that isn't upstairs because usually some people really do need the elevator to move up and down the floor space. So when that's out of commission, though they have to use the stairs or if they can't use the stairs, they'll probably have to have another space. So this would be the other space, essentially, a reading area somewhere in the main reading area, basically. That makes sense. Yeah, that's a good pun, I do love puns. Yeah, that's good. It came out pretty fine, all things considering, but I mean, doing it by hand is a lot of work and I just wanted to be legible and readable and I don't know, colorful. You can tell what it is, it's pretty clear. So yeah, that's a big issue, but other than that, it was fine. Hello, my name is Raz and this is my project. So the titles get to know the space. So basically, there are 11 colors and you need to choose one and behind those colors, there will be masses here, each. And if you pick a green, then you see there's questions to answer and then underneath there will be questions. Is the library just a place to store and lean books. This one, it says, which spot is your favorite in the library and then why would you pick that spot? And then you get a notebook. On a notebook, you write it down. What's the question telling? Now for that, put it on the blackboard over there and then if you're done, when you're done, you can get free candy as a saying thank you for doing it. My favorite part of doing project was basically a drawing hand. Drawing and then coloring.
