The People's Library
The People's Library, also known as Fort Patti〔〔 or the Occupy Wall Street Library (OWS Library), was a library founded in September 2011 by Occupy Wall Street protesters in lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park located in the Financial District of New York City. It was temporarily evicted when Zuccotti Park was cleared on November 15, 2011, during which time 5,554 books were thrown away by the New York City Police Department.〔(【引用サイトリンク】)">url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/15/occupy-wall-street-library_n_1094941.html )〕 In April 2013, the Government of New York City was ordered to pay $366,700 for the raid, which was found to have violated the protesters' First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/10/court-orders-nypd-to-pay-360000-for-raid-that-destroyed-occupy-wall-street-library/ )〕
==History==
Founded shortly after Occupy Wall Street activists began protesting, the People's Library began with a cardboard box full of books which was left at Zuccotti Park by a library science student from New York University. A weather event then resulted in the loss of the collection, which prompted Betsy Fagin to bring the idea of an official library before the movement's General Assembly a few weeks later.〔 The assembly appointed Fagin as librarian and a second collection was started.〔 As time passed, volunteers received additional books and resources from readers, private citizens, authors and corporations. In one such instance, musician Patti Smith contributed a tent to the library, which was named ''Fort Patti'' in her honor and used as the library's primary structure until it was destroyed in November.〔〔 The library has on occasion received volunteer assistance from the local homeless population, according to a librarian from the New York Public Library.〔
