NOT JUST BOOKS, BUT PAINTINGS OF BOOKS


HHS Library Director Jessica Eakin doesn’t just buy new materials for the library – she produces them herself. She paints large acrylics reproducing the books’ covers to display in the library and the nearby computer lab. “I just pick what the kids are reading,” she says, “and whichever cover-designs I like.” The six paintings hang as a reminder of the books available in the all-new media center which opened as part of the renovated school in September 2006.
