Our human books will be: Cancer Survivor, Recovered Addict and her Son, Transgender, Muslim, Developmentally Disabled, Formerly Homeless, Police Officer, Dreamer, Computer Scientist, Blind Individual, and Reformed Gang Member.

WHAT'S NEW?
Ar t Kiosk at Courthouse Sq uare 
On Saturday, March 9th, the Art Kiosk at Courthouse Square celebrated its new installation, which runs through April 6. Artist Kate Dodd's installation "Incubator", in honor of Women's History Month, visualizes the information and connections we experience from books. Friends of the Redwood City Public Library 
supplied about 2,000 books that otherwise would have been recycled. A number of women's history books from the library collection are also incorporated into the show  
 
The Art Kiosk is a unique partnership between the Redwood City Improvement Association, City of Redwood City and Fung Collaboratives creating an artistic place for local artists to display their work in the community for all to enjoy.  To learn more about the art kiosk, go here .
