“Creative power shouldn’t just benefit the individual. It should contribute to the community, where its impact can grow exponentially”
Everyone deserves to experience the creative freedom and exploration libraries offer.
Everyone’s Library, a national organization I founded, is my creative and innovative solution to address the shortcomings of traditional libraries in underserved communities.
Libraries not only serve as knowledge centers and areas of rest for tired or depressed minds, but fuel creativity and stimulate the imagination. By providing free, permanent, 24/7 outdoor libraries using recycled books from the community, membership/late fees or transportation hurdles towards accessing libraries can be eliminated. We can promote a collaborative approach that includes the exchange of books by the community and encourage the scientific process of “experimentation,” motivating people to read new genres and ideas.
