Greetings, Austin (TX and Chicago)!

Found your way here via SXSW? Welcome! Read/Write Library is a work in progress — we want to create an open source platform that other cities can adopt to discover and preserve their shared cultural memory, neighborhood by neighborhood. Have feedback, ideas or want to help? Contact Nell Taylor.

Starting March 12th, a Pop Up Library at the Oak Park Public Library will feature media produced in Oak Park and surrounding western suburbs (like Cicero and Forest Park) and west side Chicago neighborhoods (like Austin and Galewood). Details on events soon!

Read/Write Library is the new home of Chicago Publishers Gallery. Rick Kogan writes about the move in the Chicago Tribune.
