Little Free Library

Surrealist artist builds on his love of books

As the USA celebrates National Library Lovers’ month this February, an artist living north of the border thought his block should have its own library, so he built one. 

Montreal artist and illustrator François Escalmel can add “Little Free Library” builder to his impressive resume, one that includes many solo exhibitions as a visual artist.

The surrealist artist discusses his library project with Spotlight producer Paul Larson here.

Enjoy Larson’s previous interview with Escalmel.
