Free Art - Brad Troemel (video)
‘a public library is:
free access to books for every member of society
library catalog
librarian
With books ready to be shared, meticulously cataloged, everyone is a librarian. When everyone is librarian, library is everywhere.’
Various texts of different lengths. ‘Free archive of radical writing’. ‘The evil Project Gutenberg.’
