Scope and Contents note

The People's Library is the collective, public, open library of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The library was located in Liberty Plaza in Zucotti Park in New York City during the height of the Occupy Wall Street Movement in late 2011. The facilities there and the collection were destroyed during the November 15 raid on Liberty Plaza. The Library consists of a book sharing system that lends free books in and out of the OWS storage facility and to Liberty Plaza and actions around New York. The website contains a catalogue of books, publications produced by the Library, and a blog.
