Wow, this article shifted the way you think about libraries? That's amazing to hear Hive account@axios!

I appreciate your reflections. Though the library wasn't everything you might want it to be, as you said it did enable your group to function - for free! - which really frees you up in terms of what you can do and who you can offer it to.

I'm curious what a library of experiences might look like. How is this different from an art gallery, performance venue, etc? I'm guessing you're looking for participatory experiences more than performer-audience kind of experiences. Much of the utility of libraries is in how they function as storage places - is storage part of the library of experiences? :)

How is a library of experiences different than a free school? Maybe what you want is a free school! Or, a free space without the "school" connotations.
