About Rapbrary at the Main Library
At Oak Park Public Library, Rapbrary unfolds as a multi-week immersive experience blending live performance, film, installation, visual art, music, and storytelling—centering Black imagination, freedom of expression, and the power of story as resistance.
The Idea Box installation Maintaining Wonder: Deangelo's World invites visitors into the interior life of a sensitive, creative Black child inspired by Kinsey's book Deangelo and the Dandelion. Through environmental design, books, and visual storytelling, the installation centers tenderness, imagination, and resilience, creating a space where softness and strength coexist.
