This is a simple black-and-white image of a library card. The card has the words "San Juan Public Library" at the top, a name line filled in with "RODNEY GRAHAM," and an address line saying "SAN JUAN HOTEL." Below that, there’s a warning: "DO NOT LOSE THIS CARD" followed by small print about fines and rules. The card looks old and slightly worn, like it’s been handled a lot. The typeface is plain and functional, with no decoration. The edges of the paper are frayed, giving it a rough, real feel. This is a work by Rodney Graham.
