BPL Presents[*Scoring the Stacks*](http://bit.ly/2Qw7n0x?ref=hyperallergic.com), a participatory public art project by Kameelah Janan Rasheed inviting all to rediscover learning and the library through guided wandering and play.

The project will feature a series of performance scores and visual art throughout the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central branch as a means to experiment with different modes of learning and unlearning. A commissioned 120-foot site-specific photomural on the balcony of the Library’s Grand Lobby will introduce visitors to the *Scoring the Stacks* experience.
