Art students from UC Irvine will be in the Café at the Central Library on Saturday, April 8 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. to talk about their exhibit, “The Book, Reimagined,” which is on display through April 30. 

The exhibit, on the upper level of the Central Library, features “books as objects” created by students from winter quarter Artist Book studio at University of California, Irvine.
