Mixed media artwork featuring a tree made from paper decorated with eyes and other images painted with coffee.

On view on the library's 1st floor is “Roots of Hope Through Tinted Lenses,” a mixed media artistic work by USC Upstate students, created as part of Network8's “Treedom Project.” This initiative focuses on child advocacy and raising awareness about imprisoned children worldwide. The Treedom Project uses the symbolism of trees to represent children growing in adverse environments, while aiming to nurture hope, demand justice, and call for an end to youth imprisonment.

Stemming from Network8's “A Cup of Knowledge” painting session, the artwork employs coffee as a medium of expression.

    I want students to know that the librarians are here to help, and they shouldn’t be afraid or ashamed to ask questions.  Answering questions is what we live for.
