Free Book Exchange: Mobile Hope Library
Please join VCUarts Faculty, John D. Freyer for the VCU campus launch of the Free Book Exchange, a mobile library of hope, gratitude and change. You are invited online or in person to donate/exchange a book of significance that inspired a change in you, offered you hope or started you on a different path. The initial catalog was curated by John D. Freyer and features the creative output of artists and writers from the inaugural Recovery in Practice conference at The Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University. Freyer will bring Recovery In Practice to the Institute for Contemporary Art VCU in April 2025 and your donated books will be part of the evolution of this project. The Free Book Exchange is community building conversation on wheels about creative practice, human connection and the perseverance of persons in recovery.
If you would like to donate a book to the Free Book Exchange - Please contact John D. Freyer at jdfreyer@vcu.edu
Guidelines
Prior to joining a session, attendees are encouraged to check that Zoom is working properly on their computers or devices by testing it at https://zoom.us/test.
At the start of every session, attendee’s microphones will be muted. This allows everyone to hear the organizers and presenters clearly. Attendees will be invited to unmute their microphones and speak at different times during the session.
If you have questions or comments while others are speaking, you can type them in the chat.
As at physical events, attendees are asked to help make sessions inclusive of all participants by using respectful language and allowing others to speak, even if they disagree with viewpoints being expressed.
VCU Libraries reserves the right to remove attendees from sessions for disruptive behavior.
Be advised that VCU Libraries will record all sessions for its private archives but may make use of the recordings for future projects, including publicity.
For special accommodations, or to register offline, please contact Ryan Pander, event manager, rbpander@vcu.edu or 804-828-0593.
