Chicago alternative library saves printed material otherwise lost in the shuffle - WBEZ
Some Chicagoans are collecting a quirky collection of cookbooks, zines and poems for an unusual library. For starters, it accepts any printed material connected to the Chicago area and it’s not just for readers – it’s meant to get people creating work, too. The Chicago Underground Library has been around for a while, but it’s got a new name, and a new home that opens Friday in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood.
“For the better part of three decades multidisciplinary artist Guy Laramee has worked as a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer. Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall, where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures. “
I collect flickering stars
in old pickling jars,
poking holes in the lids
so they can breathe.

One day I will have a little personal library with books just like these.
