Public Collectors is a big fan of guerrilla libraries and the People’s Library at Occupy Wall Street in particular. To encourage and support this work, I’ve reprinted Mandy Henk’s excellent essay “Occupy Libraries: Guerrilla Librarianship for the People” as a big, color offset, double-sided postcard. This is the front side of the postcard. You can read the full essay here.

2,500 copies were printed and a thousand of these cards will travel with People’s Library librarians to be given away when they speak at the American Library Association Midwinter conference in Dallas on Saturday, January 21st. More details on that presentation and their work here.

If you’d like to support this project and receive a couple copies in the mail, please consider making a donation of $1.00 or more to my Paypal email address. If you donate more than a couple dollars, I’ll throw in a free Public Collectors booklet and additional ephemera. Thanks.

A sign at Occupy Chicago, photographed earlier today. At Occupy Chicago, every sign is a hand-drawn sign - yet another reason to be down with these great protests!

A photocopied flyer from Occupy Wall Street in New York, given to me by a friend after the first few days of the protest, September, 2011. May these protests continue and grow on Wall Street, and all other streets!
