In March this year, artist John Bokor was the first artist in residence in our Drawing the Library program:

‘It was the light and calm of the reading room that stayed with me for a long while ... There is a timeless quality to the space — all the people immersed in their thoughts. It’s like a temple to the beautiful world of books and to the human imagination.’
