New York architect John Locke saw a unique opportunity and now has made very cool-looking and practical libraries/book drops that fit nicely on our existing infrastructure. Some say they will be trashed, but I honestly don’t think they will be any more than anything else.
I support this project and will definitely donate a book when I find one!

I’m hugely supportive of this effort… good work Dumbo! What a great way to draw people to public spaces and provide a very tangible service at low cost.

Looks like spring is on the horizon!
