Mystery Artist Hides Sculptures in Scottish Libraries

How beautiful is this? A mystery artist has been leaving stunning sculptures in Edinburgh's libraries, with nary a hint of his/her identity. Some of the pieces have been tucked away in hidden nooks and crannies, others were discovered in the open; all were accompanied by notes of appreciation. The Scottish Poetry Library received a tree sculpture bearing the simple note, This is for your support of libraries, books, words and ideas. The Filmhouse Cinema was gifted with a model of a cinema, with a note that reads, For @filmhouse – a gift – In support of Libraries, Books, Words, Ideas ... & All things *magic*. Multiple sculptures included a nod to Ian Rankin, but library staff don't believe the mystery writer is personally responsible for the sculptures.
