Who better to honor "the art of the book" than author and artist Audrey Niffenegger? The acclaimed author of The Time Traveler's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry, she is also a dedicated book artist. Her graphic novel, The Night Bookmobile, originally appeared in 32 parts in the London Guardian.
A co-founder of the Columbia College Center for Book and Paper Arts in Chicago, she notes, "I have spent my life working with books as an art form and I am devoted to physical books."
She taught the book arts for several years at Columbia College and is currently on faculty at the school's fiction writing department. Audrey Niffenegger served as Honorary Chair for the American Library Association's 2011 National Bookmobile Day.
Event co-sponsored by the Association of Bookmobile and Outreach Services, an affiliate of the American Library Association.
