This evening is a memontary snapshot of the current state of a library see through the metaphor of gardening; pruning, gleaning, growing, grafting and harvesting. Garden Leeszaal is a a open conversation; a collective writing tool, a cooprative archive. We would like to ask everyone to think of the library as a garden. For us, being a gardener means caring; caring for the people and books that form this space. </p>
<h4>About Leeszaal</h4>
<p><i>You walked into a library, it's warm inside after the cold street of the city. You shake off your coat and look around the shelves. Talk, play, organise, learn!</i><br>
Leeszaal Rotterdam West is a residence's initiative. The old West has a long tradition of action. We don't accept what others decide for us, so we started thinking about an alternative: a Reading Room. A former hammam has been transformed into an atmospheric reading , learning, experimenting and meeting place with received items and the craftmanship of interior architect Ruud Brugghe. A culture bazaar. leeszaalrotterdamwest.nl
