Protest Art @ Your Library

April 18, 2007 at 5:31 pm | In libraries | 5 Comments

Poking my head out of my cave for a very special reason: photos of a public art display at my former place of work. A little background – this library is under renovations and parts of the collection have been put into inaccessible storage, things have been moved around, services temporarily out of service, it’s hard to find things, and so on. And so, I present to you what is probably the work of some students protesting the library’s “transformation”:

  1. I bet this was a faculty member… or maybe a grad student? Where did you find these? I’m going to go see if they’re still there!

  2. Sarah, I can’t imagine it was a faculty member – what prof. would create the fake books with the call number stickers on them? None, I tell you! Only an undergraduate with a fine sense of detail could have performed such a deed. Or … a librarian!

  3. Ha, that’s what Joel said too–it was an inside job!

  4. Maybe Joel knows who did it!

  5. Oh, yeah, definitely a librarian. Are they classified correctly? Check the OPAC, they might have been entered!

    I, too, can feel library construction pain.
