The bootleg library sessions are a series of open workshops in which we will:

* create user accounts
* collectively determine the development of desired features in the library
* upload and catalogue texts
* classify texts in shelves, both public and private
* download, read, annotate and discuss texts
* digitise printed matter, including scanning and OCR
* design, print and bind books for the physical bootleg library

Varia is a collective-space in Gouwstraat, Rotterdam. On the last Sunday of each month they open their doors to the public to read books from their library and repair electronics, in what is known as the L.E.D (Library & Electronic Depot). I asked to hold a bootleg library session at the first L.E.D., which ended up being a sunny, relaxing afternoon sitting on cushions, discussing bootlegs, scanning, piracy, and the type of strategies that the physical bootleg library could employ.

== bootleg library at the Library, Karel Doormanhof 45 ==
[[File:Bl intro sessions kdh EN.jpeg|400px|frameless]]<br>
This bootleg library session was held in a new space at Karel Doormanhof 45, called "The Library". The building is home to studios for Piet Zwart Institute MA Fine Arts participants. The first hour of the session was initially only attended by one other participant, and then others arrived. All told, there session was attended by 5 participants, including myself. The attendees interests were well reflected in the type fo texts we discussed and shared - literary theory, writing, 60s counterculture, the occult and magick. This was the first time I used cards from my thesis in this session - these were distributed over the table, and put on offer for participants to choose and begin conversations about the various tasks I had been writing about; e.g. reading/writing, skimming/scanning, bootlegging, reprinting, uploading/downloading etc. This provided an easy entry point for participants to approach the topic of bootlegging and the contingencies this type of library offered.
