Melissa Gira Grant: Take This Book (2012)

“This is one story of the People’s Library at Occupy Wall Street, as told to me by many of the librarians behind it: how the library began, what happened after the November 15 raid on Zuccotti Park, and why they’re rebuilding. It’s a story about books, danger, and freedom.

Take This Book is an extended essay — just over 10,000 words — based on the stories of the librarians and the library’s patrons. It can’t be the whole story, because it’s still happening.” (from the project’s Kickstarter page)
