The Book of HOV- Brooklyn Public Library

Hola’ Hovito!

The Brooklyn Public Library presents The Book of HOV, an installation created by Roc Nation to celebrate the life and work of Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter. Not only is he married to my good sis, Beyoncé, he’s also one of my favorite artists.

One of Brooklyn's most influential figures, JAY-Z has shaped and consistently redefined hip-hop, music and culture on a global scale. The Book of HOV features never-before-seen images, art and ephemera from the artist's archives, providing an unparalleled look at an extraordinary life and career. This free, immersive experience is one of the only installations of its scope to be housed in an active public space and features text, audio and curation by Roc Nation teams and partners.

The exhibition, spread throughout two floors of Central Library and the Brooklyn Library has partnered with Roc Nation to create a set of limited-edition library cards to accompany the exhibit. Learn more about The Book of HOV library cards here.

You still have time to check it out. The Book of HOV will be up until December 4, 2023.
