In a Noir future, characterized by suspicion, social stratification, secrets, government corruption, information control, poor education, and a lack of personal freedom, there exists a library called the Museum of True and Accurate History. This library supports its community by creating hope, supporting intellectual freedom, and addressing gaps in technology access. One issue facing the library's community is a restrictive and corrupt government, and to address this the library offers a deprogramming helmet, expressive art classes, and take-home hydroponic gardens.
