The Unconventional 11.11.11 Library

Today is the auspicious 11.11.11
According to an enchanting friend and poet Jane Griffin, this is the day of unlost things, whatever happens in this day remains.
To celebrate, wild & grace are opening the cyber doors of its unconventional library to Aotearoa.

A full inventory of wild & grace’s small but enthusiastic collection will appear over the month of November, but to be the metaphor of trumpets playing a fanfare, follows Emily’s (trumpets on a hilltop please)

book reviews?
You will be able to read some reviews of books I have read (which may or may not be in the wild & grace library). These reviews are fairly non self-conscious (i.e. not deliberated over).

what else may you want to know?
wild & grace unconventional library operates online only, so you search for your books through a list and I post it to you and then you post it back in the pre-paid bag I provide.

why start an unconventional library?
I have just finished The Art of Non-Conformity. One of my dreams is to host a delicious library full of inspirational books something of the flavour of two New Zealand boutique booksellers – Pathfinder Bookshop and Unity Books stirred together. This delicious library dream is all enclosed in the bigger dream of hosting an unconventional ‘university’/learning centre with a herb garden, tea house and view of the sea.
The thought unravelled as I read Chris Guillebeau’s paragraphs that I can start right away. Start this library right away. I have great great books, and you are great great people, who I’d love to share these great great words and ideas with.
So there and here we are.

A reminder…
