<pid="firstLine">Dear readers,<br><br>
The Library Is Open invites you to an afternoon of workshops that make the operations within libraries visible. Join us in exploring the actions and roles of legal and extra-legal libraries (municipal, pirate, academic, +++), their custodians, and the public that form a community around collections of texts.</p>
<p><b>Marginal Conversation</b><br>
<p><b>Marginal Conversations</b><br>
We read texts, and write notes in the margins; usually in private, isolated from other readers. We come across texts with others' notes on them; the author unknown, their thoughts obscure. What happens when we share our notes, vocalise and perform them?</p>
<p>In this workshop...we'll read, annotate and discuss an open letter which asks for pirate library practices to come out from the shadows. We'll read aloud and perform parts of the text, enriched by our doubts, sympathies, tensions and diverse understandings. We'll personalise the text, opening it up for collective conversations. Our voices will occupy the space and leave traces on the text and in the library.</p>

<p>The workshop consists of three activities where different scenarios shift your accustomed perspective to start common dialogues. Put yourselves in the shoes of the librarian, imagine together a reading space, and contest the morality of knowledge proprietization.</p>
How do we reveal the hidden labour involved in these processes? What libraries become possible when you transform physical books into digital files, and vice versa? </p>
<p>In this workshop you will be a librarian converting books into machine readable files, a process involving tools, time and choices.</p><br>
