Alice C Sabatini Art Gallery on Facebook
For our fourth year, the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library participates in the Edible Books Festival! This is an international festival, held around April Fool's Day. Books of food, food of books, food about books, anything goes! If you'd like to participate, call 580-4515 to sign up by April 1, 5 pm.
Larry Peters and Barbara Waterman-Peters are two of Topeka's renowned and influential artists. They present works about psychological anquish, oppression and the Holocaust.

Two well-known local artists present their points of view in Hyphen-ated, an exhibit that features their ceramics, oil paintings and collages. Artist Barbara Waterman-Peters shows off her The Women Series, and among Larry Peters' featured works are Holocaust collages. Hyphen-ated runs March 5 through April 16.
Between Super Bowl 44, President's Day closing and a seemingly endless amount of snow, Africa Everyday faced some attendance challenges, but we still managed to attract 2,989 visitors.
A Special Look: Paperweights Curators Zan Popp and Brea Black share some of the library's fine collection of paperweights.
The Sabatini Art Gallery is located a short distance from the Library entrance, just to the right of the rotunda. Exhibits, programs and events are free, casual and open to the public.
Hours are the same as the Library, except when closed for change of exhibition.
