Reusing cassette carry cases for the purpose of housing and distributing small handmade booklets, zines and mix-tapes of varied topics across Europe.

Reusing cassette carry cases for the purpose of housing and distributing collections of handmade booklets, zines and mix-tapes of varied topics. Tiny Libraries will be posted and placed around Europe, in alternative, sustainable communities, festivals and gallery spaces, to serve as a social, artistic and cultural exchange for aiding cross-pollination within creative subcultures.

Based primarily upon the ideas of Psychogeography (an approach to geography that emphasizes playfulness and "drifting") and Upāya (a Buddhist method of pedagogy translating to 'expedient means'), Tiny Library will look to create a community of exchange between creatives to exemplify the social function of creating art and music.

All submission topics will be considered, the only specification for physcial submissions is that they be approx A7 (the size of a cassette box) or no larger than A5 (for the larger 7inch carry cases being used)

Artists and musicians are invited to submit, be it a mixtape that needs graphic deisgn from one of the Tiny Library contributors, or a creative writer that needs their work typsetting and printing in small limited runs, or simply if you would like to send business cards, postcards, instruction manuals or a booklet about your favourite records, all are welcome for distribution.
