13.02.20 - Sam Hart (Cybernetics Library), online meeting
Sam Hart is a programmer and the initiator of the Berlin chapter of Cybernetics Library, a "reverse catalog" of loaned printed books that are checked in to various spaces for visitors to read. I met with him online to discuss our interests in libraries, cybernetics and access to knowledge.
Cybernetics Library is an initiative that began in New York City, with an installation of books at various locations. The books are checked in to these spaces, becoming available for visitors to read. At present, they are not checked out of the space. The interest of the library is the field of cybernetics, and the collection is catalogued on LibraryThing and are.na:

Sam invited me to join a slack channel where discussions around the activities of Cybernetics Library are most active.
