A popup library grows in Oakland
The Tour Crew pulled into the Bay with a mission last week: Transform an empty storefront in downtown Oakland into a full-blown library of artists’ sketchbooks with just three days, three pairs of hands and an ocean of seriously strong coffee.
We’re really proud of the results — our once-empty room is now a hub of inspiration, complete with reading room, drawing table and nearly 7,500 sketchbooks from around the world. We feel lucky to share all of this creativity with the blossoming arts community here in Old Oakland, where our partners at Popuphood are busy incubating new local businesses and awakening street life in this diverse, historic neighborhood.
So, Oaklanders! San Franciscans! Alamedans! Berkeleyites! Cyborgs from Silicon Valley! Come and visit us at the Pop-Up Library from now until June 17th. We’d love to show you what our global community has been working on… along with hundreds of your neighbors, too.

It is a project about making sketchbooks. I would rather use the idea of recycling preexisitng sketchbooks and create from that through skill exchange. What is he functions of a sketchbook? As a research/planning tool, does it become obsolete once final art works are made?

Work spaces:
Interesting use of desk lights- will furniture like this be needed?

small shelves on wheels... and people
