SPRING HAS SPRUNG
AT BOOKPLATE

The arrival of spring is an exciting time
of year. As the weather warms, people’s
moods start to lift and the promise of new
beginning dawns. A multitude of colours
and fragrances that were so absent during
winter, begin to emerge.
When we think of spring, we think of the
excitement as summer starts to draw near.
One of the best things about warmer
weather is spending time in nature. Picnics
with loved ones, walks by the lake and
fresh blooms on the table.
Our inspiration for this month’s artist’s
installation came from these very
sentiments. Drawing on the journey from
spring to summer, we have chosen to
incorporate bolder splashes of colour and
illustrate the natural beauty of an alfresco
lifestyle.
We have included spring blooms such as
dahlias and tulips in clashing bursts of
sorbet yellows, oranges and hot pinks. The
wild trailing foliage mimics the experience
of being outdoors in an overgrown garden.
The sweet fragrance of wattle and blossom
can be captured in the Library’s foyer,
inviting you into BOOKPLATE. We hope it
inspires you to celebrate our story of spring!
