Drop’s is a week long repossession of ‘Accrington Library’ will see the space become a temporal arts platform in which interventions and ephemeral art works may be formed, noticed, unnoticed and create dialogues between the public, architecture, objects and resources that typically inhabit the library. The group of young artists challenge the perception of public space and the societal boundaries associated with the quiet but abundant library ecology creating a series of situations within the space over the course of the week*
