Hello, friends!
It’s time to do the roundup of the best of the web this week at the intersection of libraries + creativity. As always, we’re glad you’re here!
If you’re an artist, maker or other creative person who uses the library to further your creative goals, or if you work in a library that supports creative practice, we’d love to hear from you.
Cheers!
