The Underground Library opens Nov. 11th with a new name and location Read/Write Library at 914 N. California, Walton Entrance, Chicago 60622

Read/Write Library is a replicable model for community collections. It
uses the lens of an archive to examine the creative, political, and intellectual interdependencies of a city, tracing how people have worked together, who influenced whom, where ideas first developed, and how they spread from one publication to another through individuals.

Without making any quality or importance judgments, we collect every piece of media we can get our hands on from around the Chicago area. Learn how you can get cataloged!
