Over 7 days in Leeds Central Library, Quarantine artist Kate Daley hand makes a book containing a work of collective fiction based on conversations with people in the library.
The text is shaped by poet and writer Cherie Battiste.
The finished book then enters the library’s collection for future readers.
A beautiful object, carefully made, the book is an alternative portrait of the library, the people who use it and the knowledge it holds.
