LABRARY is an experimental pop-up library, landing on the lawn of the O. Henry Museum during SXSW Interactive 2014. The project is a collaboration between the Austin Public Library Friends Foundation and the Library Test Kitchen, a Harvard Library-supported Design Seminar that engages students in designing and building future library machines.
LABRARY is the Library Test Kitchen’s prototype library space. It’s a place to play with media, share ideas, discuss the future of the library (including Austin’s) and create and exhibit your own library machines. Last time we occupied a storefront in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA, this time, we’ll be popping-up out of a bike trailer! We can’t wait. Join us for an all-ages, public festival of library ideas and activities!
