DIGITAL TUESDAYS creates vibrant digital communities around public libraries. The scheme started in 2011 and is currently running three strands: the DIGITAL BAZAAR® (next one Saturday 23rd June 2012), DTvip for visually impaired people (VIPs) and screenings of films with local interest. Our most recent screening was UTOPIA LONDON on Tuesday 6th March 2012. Other strands will be developed in 2012, alongside special events like DESIGN PHILANTHROPY, a collaboration with the Royal College of Art (exhibition/presentation November 2011).
DIGITAL TUESDAYS piloted through 2011 at Tate South Lambeth Library in London, England, and is now being rolled out to other libraries. Created by Christina Burnett of Wide Eye Pictures, the scheme is supported by Lambeth and the Friends of Tate South Lambeth Library.
