One concept that I love from the Library Economy Philosophy is the idea that “books are for use” and not for hoarding, which originates from the idea that knowledge and information should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford it.
When we apply this philosophy to our daily lives, it’s remarkable how easily the concept translates. For instance, consider the intentional communities like Twin Oaks in Virginia or The Farm in Tennessee, where members share resources, skills, and labor to create a thriving ecosystem. Or think about tool libraries, bike-sharing systems, or food cooperatives that promote sharing and reuse.
When we adopt this philosophy beyond books, it is clear that material equality should be our ultimate goal. Everyone should have the opportunity to eat before someone else can get seconds.
So, what can we do to start implementing this philosophy in our own lives?
