Bookbike

 (by Pima County Public Library)

This reminds me of a project I’m thinking about organizing on campus for the English Majors Club. It’ll be like a pop up library and I hope the members of the club will agree in helping me out with this.

How do you feel about people taking the books?

“The goal is to take and share and leave new books in an attempt to foster community engagement. However, the whole set of books disappearing was a problem with the first version, and of course anytime anything is out on the streets there is a danger of that. But it’s not hard to find more books. As they spread and more people become cognizant that these are there and are serving a common purpose, I think that will become less of a worry. For a next step, I’ve been in contact with local businesses in the neighborhood with the goal of converting a booth outside their storefronts, with the intention that they would help check and take care of upkeep.” - John Locke, interviewed by The Atlantic Cities for his Guerilla Libraries in NYC.

I’m super fascinated with all these little pop up libraries! My one and only fear is that the whole thing is a flop and that no one will be interested in stopping to pick up a book but I won’t know until I try.
