Richmond
lacks a commercial-free environment for public discourse. This Summer,
Gallery5 plans to convert its Blackbox Theatre into a community
library, resource center and meeting space. A place where individuals
can come for educational and recreational reading, intellectual or
nonsensical discussion, surf the web with free wi-fi access, or even
just a place to relax over a steamy cup of coffee (donation based) and
fresh baked goods. We also hope to provide a public meeting area for
local area activist and organizations to gather that's more inviting
than commercial establishments and living rooms. Freely take advantage
of these resources during normal business hours.
Donating Books For Discounted Admission:
In
order to provide this resource, we'll be donating books from our
collective personal libraries, but we'd also like to extend the
invitation to others. We'll be collecting books for the library in
exchange for discounted admission to Gallery5 events and alcoholic
beverages. Aside from books, we are also looking for bookshelves,
stereo systems, coffee tables, sofas, chairs, wall paint, coffee
makers, mugs, and most of all ...Volunteers.
Here is a list of reading material we hope to provide in the library:
Socio-Political
Art
Art History
Art Educational
Literature Essays
Classic Literature
Instructional / D.I.Y.
History
Richmond History
Music History
Local History
Graphic Novels
Theology
Sociology
Psychology
Nature
D.I.Y. Zines
Types of books we don't want:
Genre Fiction: romance novels, mystery/horror, science fiction, war/espianage fiction.
Self Help Books.
