Some Comic Books That Were Destroyed In The OWS Eviction

You can read the complete list of the over 5,000 destroyed books from the People's Library at Zuccotti Park here.

"The Best Of The Spirit"

"Doctor Who: Agent Provocateur"

I write this as my local public library is closed "indefinitely" for repairs. I have a lot of access to books, but what about people in my community who don't? There is not a single book or comics shop in my area for miles and miles. The only place that sold books and offered somewhat of a "people's library" vibe was closed by the govt. a couple of years ago. What if all these children in my neighborhood -- many of them from lower income families -- had a People's Library? What if books and graphic novels -- which seem so plentiful for me and my peers in the media and publishing -- were similarly available for everyone?

Part of this is about supporting funding for public libraries, but I also think there needs to be an even more immediate "grass roots" approach to provide books to people. Certainly not throwing away 5K books.
