The library is hosting a diverse selection of exhibitions this quarter. Come explore our display cases on the library’s main floor to learn more about:
Lidar is a remote sensing technology that uses millions of laser pulses to measure and quantify vegetation, trees, geomorphology, hydrology, and the human world. This technology has transformed how we study the natural world. It also happens to create stunning works of art. Explore how this technology (and art) transforms images of local environments such as Bluejay Natural Area, Spruce Burl Trail, Skagit River, Mary’s Peak, Hoh River, Stillaguamish River, and the Skagit and Sauk Confluence.
Showcasing a collection of artifacts and documents related to the US Army Spruce Production Division operations in WWI, this display case includes official publications, letters from soldiers, propaganda material, insignia and other artifacts.

Several recent Evergreen courses have highlighted cyanotypes (aka "sun prints" or "blueprints")—the early 19th Century handcrafted photographic process of coating materials in light sensitive solution of iron salts, exposing to UV or daylight, and processing to reveal rich Prussian blue tones. This display case showcases especially successful results from "Cyanotype Animation Project" (Spring 2024) and "Exploring the In-Between; Liminality, Music, Media & Writing" (Fall 2024), plus some process artifacts. The show is particularly relevant to the second offering of "Cyanotype Animation Project 2" (Winter 2025) which begins in January, and also of interest to photo students and analog art lovers community-wide.
This display case includes 16 cast glass oysters made by Harry Daniels in a recent Evergreen summer class. Many of them using the same oyster shell, viewers can see the variety of colors and patterns possible using this technique.
Featuring infographics, descriptions, photos, and samples of native plants and medicinal plant preparations, this display case encourages a deeper connection and awareness of the land we live on and encourages reciprocity and care when working with the land and its plants. Bell created a native community garden presentation last year which serves as an inspiration for this exhibition.
Stay tuned for events surrounding these exhibitions, which will be posted here when dated are finalized.
