##Acknowledgement of Country As a reflection of our recognition of the deep history and culture of this island, _A Published Event_ wishes to acknowledge the muwinina and palawa people, the traditional owners and custodians of the land upon which this library unfolds. We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, who have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Aboriginal rights. We also recognise the value of continuing Aboriginal knowledge and cultural practice, which informs our understandings of history, culture, science and environment, in supporting the development of the Tasmanian community. We embrace the opportunity of _The People’s Library_ to pester the waters of a social engagement-with lutruwita/ Tasmania – a land continuously inhabited by Aboriginal peoples for over 60 thousand years. For us non-indigenous peoples who have made this palawa land our home, it is imperative that any creative practice must acknowledge the ongoing affects of the colonial invasion of lutruwita by our European ancestors. ##Unfolding the library _The People’s Library_ is an artwork by _A Published Event_ and is presented by Salamanca Arts Centre in 2017. We are deeply appreciate SAC's ongoing support and collaboration in bringing this ambitious work to a public. Special thanks go to CEO, Joe Bugden, Creative Producer, Emma Porteus and Communications Manager, Natasha Newman. We would also like to acknowledge the support we have received from Frances Butler and Kath Melbourne. _The People’s Library_ is a holding of 113 new and original books, invited by _A Published Event_ (Justy Phillips and Margaret Woodward) 2017–18.
