Powerlessness is what happens when you sit behind your desk and do nothing. Powerlessness is signing an online petition, or commenting on an article, or forwarding an e-mail. . . . I can honestly say that the moments in my professional life when I feel the least powerless occur when I’m doing OWS library work. – Zachary, OWS-NY librarian

The OccuLibrary is a project originated by cultural workers and supporters in Dallas, Texas; here's a brief overview; more info here. Help us co- re-create reality-only-better!
