Lidlivinglibrary

The Living Library is a public studio for storytelling, book arts, screen printing, experimental publishing, and live radio broadcast to Elsewhere’s thrift-store turned living museum.

The Library contains more than 3000 titles, and brings together Elsewhere’s international artists-in-residence and Greensboro to use this collection of vintage and thrift books for reading and resource, offering a comfortable platform for sharing ideas and creative research. The Living Library re-imagines a library as a living fiction and community archive that evolves as the public participates and contributes.

Elsewhere is a living museum, studio, and school set within a former thrift store. We create new futures from old things through creative projects, education initiatives, and public works with global artists that enliven and inspire downtown Greensboro and the world.
