The Library Mall, World 120
Much like a neighborhood library, garments circulate regional styles, schools or recreation in the area, and celebration of cultural groups that reside there. Theaters, sports teams, venues, or other landmarks circulate discontinued and achieved garments as well.
The storefronts reflect and help organize the inventory but also create other opportunities for reuse. Tools, for instance, are an example of another rental resource available in the center. Documentation, publications, and galleries, and broader programming support these centers, just like a library.
Having a central space for community organization presents other opportunities. Food courts can be a resource for food waste, for example. With organizations or businesses able to trade labor for commercial kitchen use.
The Library Mall is inspired by the abundance of empty shopping malls, an existing ease/relationship with these centers and the avant-garde reinventing of spaces in Station 11 and out of necessity during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Does this World remind you of something?
I am keen to hear about any historical or contemporary real-world examples – whether individual practices, subcultures or mainstream activities – that this fiction brings to mind.
Please share any such examples using this form. Thank you!
