All the books are around A5 size, so it is good to see the drawings at their actual size, rather than as variable images on our screens and tablets. And I can't help thinking that libraries, those most fantastic of places, are a great place to exhibit sketchbooks.
The books are showing at the Oak Bay Library, 1442 Monterey Avenue, Victoria, BC, until 30 June. There's a post by Matthew about the display on the Urban Sketchers blog.

Hi James,
I agree that libraries are fantastic places! The perfect place to display a group of sketchbooks. Just wanted to let you know that the exhibit is generating a huge amount of interest, librarians have been swamped with positive comments and requests for further information on the urban sketchers group. I was asked to include a written blurb on how to participate in the group which I put in the display today.
They have asked me to do a display at the main library downtown which I will consider.
There really is something about seeing a sketchbook "in the flesh". It is a very inspiring little exhibit. Thanks again for lending me your wonderful sketchbooks!
I love looking through sketchbooks as they tell you a lot more about the artist and their intent. Unfortunately,my use is sporadic to say the least and that says a lots about me as an artist! lol
Thanks again for asking me, Matthew. Good to hear it's being appreciated.
Sporadic is better than not at all, Jacqui!
