COLLAGE I: disorder: DESTRUCTION
Many of our earliest memories of libraries will likely come from our time spent at our local public libraries. No matter how big or small they stand as pillars of a society and community; providing access to books and technology, creating a shared environment, and allowing us as individuals to explore our vast world. And we may not realize it until well into our adulthood, when the cost of books or watching movies can directly impact the amount of groceries we can buy, that these local libraries exist in a pocket of our world that grows smaller and smaller as time goes by. These libraries exist outside of consumerism, outside of our late-stage capitalist society, and nearly outside of the industrial and economic drawl we are indebted to.
