(Undercover) festival of flipbooks

This year in Darlington Library, Crown Street, Darlington, the second ‘Festival of Flipbooks’ is happening. It will be available in the Library to view from the 23rd of October till 30th November before going to Maine Library in the USA. In various books in the library, on the pages and the margins will be specially commissioned and drawn flip animations by a number of artists. Visitors are given a list of names of the books, and then search them out in normal library order on the shelves, find them, and flip them… This work is supported by Arts Council England and Creative Darlington.
