They only have two rules:
First, the book must be used in some way – no sending back an empty book or a completely different book!  
Second, the sketchbook must stay within its original dimensions. 

Each book will be given a barcode so it can be easily cataloged  into The Brooklyn Art Library System.  Once it is cataloged, the artists will be able to track where on the tour their book is viewed and how many times someone pulled it from the shelf.  You sign up, pick your theme, and they will send you the sketchbook! Fill it up and send it back and they will take it on tour to Brooklyn, Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco, Austin, Portland, ME, and more!
