The Garden Library for Refugees and Migrant Workers was founded in 2009 as a social-artistic urban community project by Arteam, an interdisciplinary art collective.
The library is located in the Lewinsky Park, by the Tel Aviv central bus station.
Arteam are determined to replace conventional sorting systems with a unique system that would embody the spirit of the library: In addition to a color sticker marking each book’s language and listing its catalogue number, a second sticker at the bottom of each spine denotes the feelings the book aroused in the readers. The books are not catalogued according to conventions of genre or author name, but according to the feeling they arouse.
The CDA's archives are operating with the support of the Ostrovsky Family Fund and Artis
