Details/Detalles

Join us for a special 1st Thursday event and celebrate the opening of the Art of Love exhibition. While viewing the exhibit, find a new (to you) romance book to read, and join us for a Romance Book Swap! Bring one or more books to swap with other book lovers. Please bring books in good condition (clean books, no ripped pages).

This exhibition explores the evocative art of romance novel covers and its evolution throughout the decades. We invite viewers to learn more about this distinctly feminist genre, and, yes, you can judge a book by its cover!

The exhibition will be on view from November 7 to December 31.

Santa Barbara Reads is funded through the annual support of the Santa Barbara Public Library Foundation.
