The Public Library of American Public Library Deaccession is a collaborative project between artists Julia Weist and Maayan Pearl.

Over a two-year period, the process of deaccession (withdrawing or discarding from a collection) was researched and documented while public libraries serving the most literate cities of 25 U.S. states were visited.

The resulting installation: With, Drawn, functioned as a reading room and sculptural exploration of out-dated, inaccurate, unpopular and consequently discarded information.

In addition to documenting the project, this website includes a digital searchable catalog of the non-fiction and childrens' fiction findings.
