Digital People’s Libraries
This week the Occupy Wall Street library encouraged readers to set up People’s Libraries around the country: “if you’d like to open a branch of the People’s Library in your New York neighborhood, find a [Privately Owned Public Space], bring down some books and meet your neighbors. It all starts with a few books in a box.”
Since I spend so much time online, I decided to create a list of books I would share with my digital neighborhood. Follow these links to download free eBook copies. I’m making a list of People’s Libraries online–what digital books will you share?
1. Minna and myself by Maxwell Bodenheim
2. To Mix with Time by May Swenson
3. Asphalt: And Other Poems by Orrick Johns
4. New York city guide; a comprehensive guide to the five boroughs of the metropolis: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Richmond by Federal Writers’ Project
5. Bartleby, the Scrivener by Herman Melville
