Library necklace

In honor the death of Plan C last week, which would have closed the libraries (and the courts, and the parks, and a bunch of fire departments, and laid off a bunch of policemen, and gotten rid of trash pickup, and… wait, these things seem awfully well-chosen to piss Philly residents off), here’s a beautiful statement necklace for your favorite librarian. Each one is made of eleven antique-leather-and-Strathmore-paper minibooks, in which you can actually write very small words! By Philly etsy maker Margeaux Kent of Black Spot Books.

And speaking of libraries, remember: Marjane Satrapi, author of 2010’s One Book, Persepolis, is appearing for free at the Central branch of the Free Library at 7:30 tonight.
