Outdoor Libraries / Libraries as Art

I ran across this blog post by Colossal Art and Design with pictures of an outdoor library - in the middle of a vineyard! Sounds like heaven to me.

Check out the pictures - very cool!



 And for those of you who are more practical than the rest of us: it was designed to be art, and local people in Belgium were invited to take the books for a small donation. So everyone won: fun library art, cheap books, and wine.

This got me interested though - there has to be other outdoor libraries in the world. A quick google search revealed these, enjoy!:

Detroit - locals started these outdoor spots after a few public library branches closed:






















Paris: It seems its popular in one neighborhood to have outdoor book sellers. I know its not a library, but still fun.






Beijing: Okay, also a book fair, but a good picture!












Any other pictures of outdoor libraries or book fairs?

Happy Tuesday!
