Place
Public libraries
A room that will lend you a book and a chair without asking for a pitch.
It meets archives, education, and the politics of what a town thinks a person might need.
Library people often care about findability, which is a design problem with a moral.
On an Interest Map, the line we most often letter beside public libraries reads “a chair and a book, no pitch required.” It tends to meet archives, education, and bookshops.
Work that shares the table
A book that keeps it company
Wanderlust, Rebecca Solnit. Read it beside public libraries: Walking as a way people have thought, traveled, and disagreed.
