Scavenger Hunt - Question 23
Word Count: 175

Out of all the art installations that are currently within the MLK library, my favorite is the art work of Mel Chin called “Recolecciones”. Each of the art pieces are so interesting and captivating to look at, it makes going to the library new and exciting. It’s shocking that I have walked by several of these items without ever thinking twice about them. Seeing the history behind the creation of some of his artwork made me realize how special our library really was. The canary couch is my favorite item within the collection. The bright color, amazing style, and unique appearance are pleasant surprises to the usual boring attributes of a typical chair found within public libraries. The mysterious swiveling bookshelf also drew my attention immediately. It adds a sense of mystery and curiosity to the walls and the aura of our library. After learning about the various art works scattered throughout the MLK library, there is no escaping the desire to search and find these items for myself and appreciate them face to face.
