A proposal for a curriculum in the critical pedagogy of Amateur Librarian practices, tested in the context of MayDay rooms, London. There are many (technical) workflows an Amateur Librarian could engage in: archiving, scanning (documents, books...), cataloguing, activating, publishing, distributing, sharing ... The curriculum includes modules on the social construction in library technologies, applied media theory at work in the digitization process, the critical pedagogy in the activation of radical archives and forms of political action against the privatization of knowledge.
