Hail, Incubator friends!
It’s Friday again, which means it’s time to review the best of the creative internet and re-visit the library-as-incubator stories we shared on the site this week. If you know of library/arts programs that aim to engage and support marginalized or at-risk communities in the post-election atmosphere, please check out our Call for Submissions for 2017. We want to hear from you.
Sending you good wishes for the weekend!

TOP FEATURES
- This week we heard from our friends at Temple University Libraries for the third and final installment of their Artist-in-Residence Series– this time focusing on food activism with Fallen Fruit’s Endless Orchard.
- We also put out a call for submissions: Fighting Back: Submit your stories of “Inclusive Creativity” to the 2017 Library as Incubator Project. Join us!
- Lots of buzz for this fun how-to from Meridian District Library, which allows for maker education without the makerspace: Make It Take It Kits.
AROUND THE WEB
- We love the quote above! Thanks to our friend Brandon Monokian for sharing (and for Gary Wasdin for articulating how we feel so well!)
- Book Riot this week was a treasure chest of ideas for how to broaden diverse and activist reading, with a great round up of books with black main characters that aren’t primarily about race, and a list of suggestions about how to fight hate through books.
- We also highly recommend this good advice from NPR Books: One Way to Bridge the Political Divide: Read the Book that’s Not For You (with a choice of Strangers in their Own Land or Between the World and Me)
- Congrats are due to the 2016 National Book Award Winners!
