(185 posts)The ! ? Of course a librarian. It isn't just about the books. The vision, the depth of knowledge, there's a librarian.

As the nation continues to control the spread of the coronavirus, one artist has decided to narrate the story of self-isolation amid the pandemic.
Digital-printmaker Phil Shaw, who was born in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, used the power of digital manipulation to entertain fans with a short story of the nation's fight against Covid-19.
Taking to social media to share his project with the nation, the artist, who was able to create a distinctive 'bookshelf' appearance, wrote: 'Shelf isolation 2 - the story so far...'
The manipulated image made to resemble an authentic bookshelf displayed a range of books from Stephen King's It to Adam Thorpe's Still and revealed a hidden message about the rise and hopeful fall of coronavirus.

The text someone added below the bookshelves is untrue.
