The bending library is a publishing project and lending library born of quarantine, when we craved physical, unmediated art experiences and intimate venues in which to have them. 

​

In response, we started the bending library to make small editions of artists' books and circulate them to readers using a lending library model, where books are delivered directly to readers' homes for 3-week checkouts.

​

Books (especially library books) carry the traces of their readers. We like books that are experiences, that accrue meaning through use and that bend our expectations of what a book might be.

Stay tuned and check-out our upcoming editions from artists Alex Wiseman, Morgan Ritter, Justin L'Amie, and Erin Charpentier & Travis Neel.
