The Inside/Out art project currently incorporates more than 70,ooo photographs from around the planet. KUSP’s Kirby Scudder reports that 60 of them are portraits of Santa Cruz library patrons. If the library can raise the necessary funds, the images will become posters on library walls. In the Live Oak neighborhood, an active Inside/Out group has used its posters to highlight diversity.
