The
Tompkins County Public Library, in conjunction with its current exhibit, “Good
Books, Bad Covers,” will host “You Can Judge a Book by Its Cover,” a
fascinating lecture by Librarian Sarah Glogowski, July 19 at 6 p.m. in the
BorgWarner Community Room West.
Through props and a PowerPoint presentation, Glogowski will dispel the popular myth that “you can’t judge a book by its cover” and show audience members that from name placement, color selection, and even the font size, every inch of a book cover has a story all its own. Participants will leave knowing how to tell science fiction from fantasy, thrillers from suspense books, and even how racy a romance novel will be with just a quick glance.
Glogowski has been invited to present this humorous and educational program to library employees and not-for-profit groups throughout the region.
“Good Books, Bad Covers” showcases local attorney James Baker’s fascinating collection of vintage paperbacks with an exhibit of books from his collection coupled with their modern counterparts. Discover how time has changed the covers of well-known and beloved classics.
The program is free and open to the public. For more information, contact Glogowski at (607) 272-4557 extension 255 or sglogowski@tcpl.org.
