all day, every day has some info about the Jackson Ward Peoples Resource Library:

Gallery5 plans to convert its Blackbox Theatre into a community library, resource center and meeting space. A place where individuals can come for educational and recreational reading, intellectual or nonsensical discussion, surf the web with free wi-fi access, or even just a place to relax over a steamy cup of coffee (donation-based) and fresh baked goods. We also hope to provide a public meeting area for local area activist and organizations to gather that’s more inviting than commercial establishments and living rooms.

In order to provide this resource, we’ll be donating books from our collective personal libraries, but we’d also like to extend the invitation to others. We’ll be collecting books for the library in exchange for discounted admission to Gallery5 events and alcoholic beverages. Aside from books, we are also looking for bookshelves, stereo systems, coffee tables, sofas, chairs, wall paint, coffee makers, mugs, and most of all …Volunteers.
