Supporting a renaissance towards beauty, goodness and truth in art, culture and education.
At its center Problem Library is a perspective and value system of what we wish to see in the world. Below is a brief list of what we’re working on this fall and ways you can get involved in supporting the work we are doing.
We hope to see you soon.

Problem Children
Save the date for October 14—15 when we will host a two-day event that will expand the Problem Children scope and community. If you would like to get involved with planning, organizing, or facilitating the event reach out to tmi@problemlibrary.org
[working]
From September to November 536 Davis St will be turned into a writing & reading room designed to facilitate time in contemplation and rigorous learning. The project is structured as a collaborative resource and has space for two more participants in this first iteration.
We are in the beginning stages of collaborating with Lynette Nicole Betancur to transform the vacant space at 238 King Street (the Beacon) into a studio and storefront. After our previous collaboration with Lynette at 536 Davis St, we are excited to provide her an open ended opportunity to create and display new ceramic works.
To know more and get involved with either of these projects email working@problemlibrary.org
Reading list
Reading and conversation have always been at the heart of our organization. All of our programs began from critical thinking that was informed by brilliant writers and theorists.
While the list is ever changing, below is a selection of writings that are currently fueling our conversations and informing our perspectives about what is needed in the world.
- The endlessly inspiring Small is Beautiful by EF Schumacher
- What Must an Educated Person Know? by John Taylor Gatto
- Thoughts on scene creation engines by Henrik Karlsson
- Aristocratic Tutoring series One, Two, and Three by Erik Hoel
- Education Is The Metacrisis by Zachary Stein

Problem Library is a dedicated team working to support a renaissance towards beauty, goodness, and truth in art, culture, and education.
