The Bristol Art Library

The Bristol Art Library (TBAL) is an art performance project created in 1998 by British artist Annabel Other. It consists of handmade books in a library the size of a suitcase.
==History==
The project was devised as a protest at the closure of the original Bristol Art Library.〔("Library and Information News at Exeter", ) ''The Line'', issue 10, June 2000, University of Exeter. Retrieved 16 June 2007.〕〔Play 'shop' with library collection at St Ives festival, ''Western Morning News'', Plymouth, August 26, 1999〕
The library consists of handmade books on a wide range subjects produced by individual contributors from all areas of the arts and sciences, each catalogued according to the Dewey Decimal System. The books are contained within a small wooden cabinet and made available when Other "performs" the library in the guise of the Head Librarian. Although TBAL is primarily an artistic endeavour, it borrows the rhetoric of and operates as a public institution, with affiliations to official library organisations worldwide. Readers must fill in appropriate application forms, and adhere to strict library rules whereupon the books can be read using a reader's ticket whenever the library is open for lending.
Membership is free. Friends of The Bristol Art Library (FOTBAL) can sit on a special cushion when reading books, and receive the library's internal newsletter. Assistant librarians attend training sessions led by the Head Librarian including book-stamping and shush-ing techniques. TBAL has a gift shop selling tea towels, bookmarks, and postcards. The library travels from venue to venue in an old-fashioned hand-pulled shopping trolley.
The Bristol Art Library officially opened its doors in New York's SOHO at the Drawing Center in 1998 (it lent its first book to an air hostess during the flight from London to New York). Since then, TBAL has toured worldwide to over 175 venues including Harvard University, Glastonbury Festival, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Poland and Japan. It has a growing membership of over 4500, and houses in excess of 200 books.
