Situated in Gallery 2, The Building Society is a library, resource centre and activity zone. The library is made up of over 200 books and magazines, covering aspects and concerns of Glen Stoker and Anna Chrystal Stephens’ Platform Residency, There Are No Firm Rules. These include DIY (homecrafts and skills); the Environment (factual nature, identification and cooking and medicinal books); and Theoretical texts around political and historical systems of living.
The library is free to use – visitors are invited to choose a book to read, converse with the artists and recommend some texts or donate some of their own relevant unwanted books.
