The Swap-a-Book libraries that can be found on the mezzanine floor Here at the Crossing we run a swap-a-book scheme. The swap-a-book libraries are situated on the first floor, where you can also find the coffee shop. This is a completely free service. You do not need to 'join' to borrow a book or even sign to take a book out. If you wish to borrow a book you may simply take it! All we ask is you return the book once you have read it. If you have any books you no longer want, why don't you bring that book with you and simply swap it for the book you are borrowing. Hence the name - "Swap-a-Book!" If you wish to donate any of your old paperback books we would gratefully accept them. That way we can offer a greater choice of books to our users and your old paperbacks will get put to good use in your community. Back to links Artwork On The Mezzanine FloorAt The Crossing in St Paul's we display art work from local artists on the walls around the first floor coffee shop. All the art work on display is for sale and is changed every month. So if you have seen one months display come back and view the following month! If you see a piece you like, and would like to purchase it, come to The Crossing Office and a member of staff will be happy to serve you. Staff at The Crossing Office can also provide you with information about the artist along with contact details. So if you wish to buy directly, or commission a piece from an artist you like, you may. The Crossing at St Paul's take no monies from any sale of artwork and all proceeds go directly to the artist. Below you can see a selection of the artwork presently on display. Why not come along and take a look at the full exhibition?
About the artists Hazel is a dedicated oil painter and has recently given this traditional medium a modern twist by painting on deep box canvasses for some of her latest work. Her daughter, Elizabeth, prefers to experiment with different media, using combinations of watercolour, enamel, acrylic and sometimes fabric. Her degree in Fashion can be seen to influence some of her work. Hazel and Elizabeth have also been members of the Walsall Society of Artists for many years, exhibiting annually in The New Art gallery and more recently, at The Atrium in Blakenall. They work very differently, but often meet up to paint, discuss new ideas and offer each other constructive criticism.
