The physical bootleg library is a collection of books, mostly made at PZI by myself and other students, or donated by visitors to PZI. The books are kept in a repurposed champagne crate, usually stored on a shelf in the Lens-Based studio. The only condition for borrowing books is that they are returned at some point. The dimensions of the box introduce certain constraints on the size and quantity of books contained within. The box is portable, allowing it to be placed in many locations:

The portability of the box means that it could be an interesting container & receptacle for libraries that travel - I'm quite interested in the possibility of using the box to transport and store both printed and digital books, especially in temporary library situations (on hotspotted Raspberry Pi for example) that could be used in worksessions at various locations.
