Friends of Philip Read Mem. Library Artist Books

The Friends of Philip Read Memorial Library in Plainfield NH are sponsoring this unique auction for beautiful, one of a kind artist-made books in two sizes. Each book cover and often the back cover is handmade by New Hampshire and Vermont artist.

The artists designed the covers in their favorite medium. Each one is different and expresses their creativity. Each cover was done on Stonehenge paper and has 80-90 high quality, heavy, linen like pages within (unless otherwise noted) from the Berlin NH paper mills. The paper was carefully punched and then high quality ribbon was used to bind each book.

Books in the 1 to 99 series are 8 inches by 11 inches.
Books in the 100-150 series are 5 inches by 7 inches,
Books in the 200 series vary in size.

These keepsake books can be used for journals, guest books, and wonderful gifts. One of kind, hidden treasures featuring dozens of artists.

A wonderful way to enjoy art in a new way.

Bids should be made online for items or may be made in person at the library by May 20. All sales are final - no returns.


About Friends of Philip Read Memorial Library - NH

The Friends of Philip Read Memorial Library (PRML) in Plainfield, NH provide support for PRML library through fundraising events such as the Annual Book Sale, help plan special programs like the Summer Reading Program, and assist with promotional events such as preparing the 4th of July parade float and participating in the “Adopt-A-Highway” Program. The group holds formal meetings only 2 or 3 times a year.

The Friends raised three-fourths of the funds for the library addition built in 2004 (the other one-fourth came from the town via taxpayers), and we continue to raise funds to support completion of the downstairs rooms.
