- We, the first year students of the Experimental Publishing Master of the Piet Zwart Institute, invite you to garden Leeszaal and discover what a library offers. Furthermore, to also see behind the curtains of how the ‘unwanted’ books are kept in this library. Leeszaal is not a ‘real’ library. It's an open space; a plot waiting to be tended to and tilled. Volunteers sort all the books that people bring. Some of the books aren’t going to make it to the shelves. They will end up as a pile of paper in trash bins, waiting to be recycled. And that’s okay. + We as the first year students of the Experimental Publishing Master of Piet Zwart Institute invite you to garden Leeszaal and discover what this library offers. We will see behind the curtains of how the unwanted books are kept in this library. Leeszaal is not a real library, it’s an open space where everyone is a member; a plot waiting to be tended to and tilled. Volunteers sort all the books that people contribute. Some of them aren’t going to make it to the shelves. They will end up as a pile of paper in trash bins, waiting to be recycled. And that’s okay.

- This evening is a momentary snapshot of the current state of a library seen through the metaphor of gardening; pruning, gleaning, growing, grafting and harvesting. {how is the cyclic nature of gardening, decomposition, compost related to the library?} It is an open conversation; a collective writing tool; a cooperative archive. We would like to ask everyone to think of the library as a playground, and find new ways to interact with and discover it through the lens of a gardener. To us, gardening means caring: caring for the people and books that make up this place. + This evening is a momentary snapshot of the current state of a library seen through the metaphor of gardening; pruning, gleaning, growing, grafting and harvesting.
