digital possibilities for literature
a space for making and sharing new kinds of reading experiences
This site is curated by IF:BOOK UK, the think and do tank exploring the future of the book in the digital age.
It's the home of:
THE IF:BOOK CAFE, both an actual space at Hornsey Library in North London and a pilot project to explore the future of literary communities in an era of financial austerity and digital abundance; when we can access free information via the web, but still need local, public spaces to read, study and dream in together,
and
IFSOFLO, an international network of people exploring digital possibilites for literature and the teaching of English.
You’re welcome to sit quietly here over a virtual coffee, browse through a shelf of IFBOOKS and soak up what’s going on.
If you like, you can become a member of the IF:BOOK CAFE & IFSOFLO network, create a personal profile and use this as a place to collaborate and share ideas about the future of books, bookselling, libraries, literature development , creative reading and writing.
And you might like to…
