Stacks is a book that chronicles the 140 year history of the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library system and its relationship with, and impact on the greater Indianapolis community. The design plays with the conventions of library books by taking elements like book plates and “Date Due” pockets and blending them with hundreds of other historic photographs and illustrations (some never before published). Even the book’s cover becomes a bookshelf that shows a selection of books from the library’s first hundred volumes.
