special issue 19 was a workshop for librarians (of their own library) to ''garden'' Leeszaal and discover what the library offered. The evening allowed a look behind the curtains of how the ''unwanted'' books were kept in that library. Leeszaal was and is still not a ''real'' library, it's an open-ended story where everyone is a member; a plot waiting to be tended to and tilled. Volunteers sort all the books that people contribute. Some of them aren't going to make it to the shelves. They will end up as a pile of paper in trash bins, waiting to be recycled. And that's ok. The special issue's evening was a momentary snapshot of the state of a library seen through the metaphor of gardening; pruning, gleaning, growing, grafting and harvesting. ''Garden Leeszaal'' was an open conversation; a collective writing tool, a cooperative collage and an archive. We asked participants to think of the library as a ''garden''. For us, being a gardener means caring; caring for the people and books that form this space. | |||

special issue 19 was a workshop for librarians (of their own library) to garden Leeszaal and discover what the library offered. The evening allowed a look behind the curtains of how the unwanted books were kept in that library. Leeszaal was and is still not a real library, it's an open-ended story where everyone is a member; a plot waiting to be tended to and tilled. Volunteers sort all the books that people contribute.

The special issue's evening was a momentary snapshot of the state of a library seen through the metaphor of gardening; pruning, gleaning, growing, grafting and harvesting. Garden Leeszaal was an open conversation; a collective writing tool, a cooperative collage and an archive. We asked participants to think of the library as a garden.
