2009 Review. The new book sculptures were unveiled at the University Library in September. Harry Gray's bronze book "bollards" are by the entrance to the library. Here you can see them all covered up prior to the unveiling ceremony.

Anne Jarvis, University Librarian, and Harry Gray, Sculptor, at the unveiling of his book sculptures outside the University Library today. A great way to liven up this rather dull and serious part of the University, I think. I mean, "shhhhh!" quiet in the library:-)
There are fourteen book sculptures by the entrance to the library. The middle four (including the one pictured here) have books you can revolve and play with. I can imagine students spinning them as they rush to and from the library:-) Congrats to Harry for the idea and to bubbly Anne for her new approach to libraries and public space. She is, I might add, Cambridge University's first female librarian!
