Three years ago, SIRS initiated a series of fine prints to
recognize and honor the essential role public libraries play in our
culture. Today, many of these prints grace the walls of libraries
across the country. The artist for the collection is Joe Davis, whose
work has been widely exhibited throughout the United States and Japan.
His illustrations have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York
Observer and many other national publications. Davis was also
commissioned to provide paintings for the Steven Spielberg movie,
Batteries Not Included.
