De-Canon: A Restless Library

Our “restless library” features 100 books across a variety of genres, and will move, shift, and grow through the participation of a broader public—including you, reader. In a restless library, there’s no fixed home, no due dates. Each book travels, gathering meaning along the way. Those who attend our June 28th event will be invited to take a book away with them from the library; you may also participate by selecting a book remotely (and receiving it from us via mail!). You may spend time with your restless book however you’d like, leave your mark — and, when you’re ready, pass it on to someone else.

If you would like to receive instructions for how to participate remotely in our Restless Library project, please reach out to decanonproject@gmail.com with “Restless Library” as your email subject.
