“What Will I Do?” The Continued Impact of a Holocaust Exhibition at an Iowa Library

Let Out the Banksy in You
Let Out the Banksy in You was a passive companion program to Banksy Booked @KHPCL, the theme for a number of active and passive programs to coincide with a six-week exhibit of Banksy’s “Haight Street Rat” street art.
Banksy Booked @KHCPL made the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library (KHCPL) the first library in the world to host a Banksy.Â
In this passive program, we simply used primed plywood and markers to invite patrons to try their own hands at street art.
