Single session event
Shortly after the Occupy Boston encampment was founded, a group of intrepid librarians and an activist bookstore owner came to Dewey Square independently with the idea of creating a library. They quickly joined forces, and the Audre Lorde-Howard Zinn (A-Z) library was born. This talk will describe how a fully-functioning library was created from scratch within a few days and how it continues to live on despite the eviction from Dewey Square.
