It's my "artistic rendering" of one of the most inspirational participatory projects I know of--the Bibliotheek Haarlem Oost book drops.

The staff was fired, the digital projects divvied out to other institutions, the plans for the physical museum shelved.

I hope it opens up a broader conversation about the nuts and bolts of successful participatory projects. There are projects from Vietnam to Australia to the Netherlands to the US, from libraries, museums, science centers, zoos, state parks, and art centers.
