Bibiographical cards for use
We’re doing a bit of archive housekeeping at the American Craft Council Library, and we’ve got a proposal for you. We recently uncovered eight boxes (some full, some partial) of 3 x 5 in. bibliographical index cards that we no longer need on file. Could you turn them into something wonderful?
If you work with paper and you’re interested in creating a sculpture or other craft work from these cards, we’ll gladly ship them to you in exchange for photos of your finished piece and the opportunity to a brief interview with you to share on the website.
Any takers? Email our librarian with your idea and how many cards you'd need by Monday, December 10th, and we'll split the cards among as many people as we can!

Library Card Art
Dec 14, 2012 7:30PM — Penelope Young ...In my work I examine systems such as library catalogs, and their progressions away from physical paper. Much of this paper exists as a chaotic storm that settles as landfill once the system has died. It is our deep belief and use of these systems, and our then sudden shifts in technology that creates enormous waste. Library cards are but one of many such systems. Office paraphernalia, library cards and ledgers, often-handled objects and evidence marks of the human touch in frayed edges. I am fascinated by the ghosts that have handled these objects; the hands I will never see.
