@8b189dd1 It looks like the accessibility issue may cause some books to be unreachable for some patrons, but the idea of making books look or feel a tiny bit inaccessible is SUCH a good take. In that sense, the accessibility barrier becomes REAL, perhaps even for the first time to some patrons.

I’d only hope that wherever this is located is in direct view of a librarian or library aide who can jump in to help any patron who requires assistance because it’s otherwise perfect. 

 @038b7317 Definitely in view. I'm appreciating people's takes because it makes me all aggro but I am cranky. 

 @8b189dd1 Certainly.

In my home state of Oklahoma book bans are not uncommon but also easily circumvented if the reader belongs to a privileged community. This installation resonates with me because it highlights how book bans impact everyone but they intensify existing societal inequalities.

By that token, I appreciate the challenge it poses to able-bodied individuals, but wish it could have done so without reinforcing inequalities against differently-abled folks. 

 @038b7317 Oh hey Oklahoma is one of the states I've never given a talk in (and I sure would like to, my Dad lived in OKC for a time). I did hear librarians at a national conference once talking about how there wasn't so much OVERT censorship in OK libraries (maybe ten years ago) so much as some staff who would somehow ensure that certain books (usually queer topics, or one set  that was purchased about sex toys) just never quite made it on to the shelf.
