Rochester’s Central Library is currently displaying creative and innovative artist books and altered books, as part of the exhibit “Art of the Book.” 

At least one of the items on display is made of music – this is “Variations on a Theme of Madama Butterfly” by Librarian Judy Schewe, who specializes in music and media at the Central Library. 

You can visit this Madama Butterfly and the other art made of books at the library at the sixth annual “Art of the Book” exhibit, which runs from November 1st through January 8th, and can be seen in the Lower Link Gallery at the Central Library of Rochester & Monroe County.
