With it, communities can build and share their collections of digital publications in a local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or table visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere. +Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries.

During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library. @@ -20,19 +20,19 @@ During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process *Last but not least, participants will take home a working Bibliotecha node, ready to distribute books! # Varia curriculum -This workshop is organised in the context of the very first series of the Varia curriculum. +This workshop is organised as part of the Varia curriculum. -The curriculum is an ongoing series of workshops in which participants are introduced to technical, theoretical and methodological skills at the basis of the various practices that live within Varia.
