For your reading pleasure, a round-up of stories from the past week in the world of books: the good, the bad, and the super fun!
The good
The awesome décor/creativity blog decor8 writes about a community bookcase in Hannover, Germany, with contents that are 100% free to the public. No library card or money is needed – all this bookcase requests is that you add a few books of your own to replenish its supply. What I love most about this project is that it actually works. Europe wins this round, folks – I really don’t think this would be as successful in greedier North America.
