Bookcase Micromuseum and Library

The Bookcase Micromuseum and Lending Library is now dormant until September, 2019.

On March 28, 2018, the Bookcase Micromuseum and Lending Library will go into hibernation mode for 18 months. When it wakes up in September, 2019, the exhibition space will host a series of exchanges with other micromuseums, located in Canada and elsewhere.

From 11-4 on Wednesday March 28, in office 221 of the JLVAC, there will be cake, lullabies, bedtime stories, dreams for the museum, and a sleuth of hibernating bears (via livestream). Please feel free to stop by, and come and learn a bit about the Bookcase before it goes temporarily dormant.

The Bookcase received some coverage in the Business London Magazine. Follow the link for more: http://postmediakiosk.milibris.com/reader/9db6c6e1-4f72-4ac1-bdb2-5d6134d09513?origin=/catalog/business-london-magazine/business-london-magazine/2018-03-06

Join us tomorrow, Wed November 29, 2:30-4:30, for the opening of:

Long in the Tooth … Yadda Yadda

curated by Christine Negus

“I like the idea of the persistence of teeth. In true crime shows, for instance, a body is often found, and eventually identified through the dental records. There’s some kind of permanence to these tiny things that require so much care, that need flossing and cleaning every day. But ultimately, they are the last thing standing. Over the years I’ve collected human teeth, I’ve made teeth from ceramics, I’ve collected tooth-themed jewellery, and I’ve found toothy animal remains in “death flea markets” in the Western United States, where you can buy bits and parts of things.” Unsettling and funny at once, Long in the Tooth … Yadda Yadda is a toothy-assed grin, a jaw breaker, a chatterbox, a gummer, the whining echo of the dentist drill. Some discomfort may be expected.

Join us tomorrow, October 18, from 2:30-4:30 for the opening of >100,000,000, curated by Stephanie Anderson. After the opening, the Bookcase will be open this semester Mondays 11:30-2:30, by chance, or by appointment.

A final reminder: Helen will be working at the Bookcase today from 12:00-4:00. Please return any books that you have taken out during the semester.

To anybody who still has books on loan from the Bookcase: Helen will be at the Bookcase during normal opening hours this week - Wednesday 12:00-4:00. Please return any outstanding books during those hours.
