I'm in the process of creating a "free library" (apologies to Ben Franklin and Philadelphia) where donated duplicate art books are set out for students to take. Duke has a new art center/performance space which I have secure permission to create a library presence. I've bought an old desk, will fill the top with books to take, and use the open drawers for outreach items for humanities librarians (bookmarks, cards, etc.) I'm seeking others who have created library donation spaces, specifically with the intent to represent the art library in a place where it is not. Grateful for any experiences or thoughts. Best, Lee Lee Sorensen, A.M., A.M.
