After thinking of a new idea, as looking at a food library wasn’t very practical idea, we came up with the title of 101 Uses for a Library Trolley as our site has a space under the stairs, with trolleys just sitting there not being used. We then thought we could use these trolleys around the library as our performance. So by looking at the different trolley designs we started to think of different ways in which a trolley could be utilised, apart from the norm.
These are our 101 things to do with a trolley:
