The Five Laws of Library Science / Edible Forest Gardens May 2024
The Five Laws of Library Science is a theory proposed by S.R. Rangathan about the operating principles of library, and how it mimics a growing forest of information. Edible Forest Gardens by Dave Jacke and Eric Toensmeier is an ecological journal detailing how the forests around us flourish into libraries of information for humans to learn from. This publication aims to garden this relationship between the forest and the library.
