A set of unpainted Gothic tombstones made of cardboard boxes, including such details as Gothic arches, crosses, and Edward Gorey-esque death's heads leaned up against a large filing cabinet.

"For the Library Haunted House, we'd love to have a cemetery."

"What's our budget?"

"Pretty much whatever you can find around here."

"We have cardboard boxes? I'll see what I can do..."

The shiny buttons of a modern elevator. The button for the 3rd floor is lit up...

True story: for a the longest time, when you got in our Library's elevator, no matter what floor you requested? It would go down to the basement first. It didn't stop till they tore out & replaced the whole thing.

Inspired the short film below.

Reflection of trees and shoreline layered over a table and chairs in an arched passageway.

Phantoms and reflections.

A display of NASA and space books with a model rocket and a sign that says: It's not Rocket Science... Oh, wait..It Is!

Put up a display on space & space travel. Best part was 3 girls looking through a book and debating their qualifications to be astronauts. Awesome.
