Title: I remember everything you taught me here
Description: Memory books from City of Boston Artist-in-Residence Steve Locke's "Love Letter to a Library" project hosted at the Boston Public Library (across the Main Library and various branches) in July-October, 2018.

"From the time I came to Boston back in 1980, the library, particularly the McKim Building, was a place of discovery, refuge, and solace. There, I learned about Sargent, met Andy Warhol, fell in love, and mourned loved ones. As I moved to various Boston neighborhoods, the branch libraries have allowed me to learn about my community and about myself as an artist and as a citizen. This project is my way of saying 'thank you' - to the library and its people for what they do for people like me every day."
