LLiLL – Leftist Leaflets in Little Libraries issue IV documents the installation of an official Little Free Library full of banned classics next to a sign prohibiting the “distribution of literature” and adjacent to an encampment called “Boomtown”.

The maintenance of the Little Free Library, as both a location for books but also clean hypodermic needles, leads to a reflection on the issues surrounding “unsheltered” individuals in Denver; addiction, gentrification, the “urban camping ban” and the police facilitated process of removing camps known as “the sweeps.”  

LLiLL IV is laser printed on 80# French parchtone paper and hand sewn with red striped thread. The bookmarks are printed on 120lb. Neenah metallic silver paper using hand set metal type on a Chandler & Price Letterpress.
