Pictured is a room designed as a maze; rectangular green sections form twisting hallways with no clear path through them. The maze is lined with a gold pattern, and the walls of the room are white.

Minecraft Model of the MSU Libraries 4
Julie Taylor
The MSU Libraries used to be open 24/5 + weekend hours. Then, suddenly, it was closed with very limited staff access. I wanted to create a virtual model that anyone, anywhere, could visit. I thought it would be a fun way for international scholars to visit and for incoming students to familiarize themselves with the libraries. Libraries are welcoming treasure troves of information, resources, and services, and I hoped this creative work would inspire future library staff. The MSU Libraries is also constantly changing with renovations, acquisitions, and shifting resources and services. This model provides a 2020 snapshot, a time capsule of the MSU Libraries.
