(The Missing Library) June 22, 2011

FREE EVENTS TO QUESTION THE USE OF LIBRARIES IN THE DIGITAL AGE AND BRING A LIBRARY TO DUMBO BY DUMBO RESIDENTS.

Annie Shaw has invited artists Jen Kennedy & Liz Linden, Marie Lorenz, Michelle Rosenberg, Angie Waller, along with architect Lori Brown, librarian A.G. Graham and information scientist Nate Hill to construct a civic, non-commercial public space in the form of a summer library at DAC for the Dumbo neighborhood.
