Art in Libraries case study bank

This case study bank is an open resource, which anyone across the library sector is invited to contribute to. The hope is that this can give a more complete sense of the opportunities that exist to bring artists into libraries. This might then also help organisations to innovate these models or combine them in ways that are tailored to what their specific library or audience needs.

This work resulted from an Arts Council England-funded project where Art School Plus collaborated with Hackney Council. A toolkit for how artists and libraries can collaborate, which was another outcome of the project, can be found and downloaded here.
