“I like books that aren’t just lovely but that have memories in themselves. Just like playing a song, picking up a book again that has memories can take you back to another place or another time.” ~ Emma Watson

“ Young writers should read books past bedtime and write things down in notebooks when they are supposed to be doing something else. ” — Lemony Snicket 

Little Library,  Todd Pattison. 2009. Found and altered early 19th-century leather binding with fore-edge clasps. The bookshelves of the altered binding hold seventy-two blank leather- and paper-covered books which open and range in height from 1” to 1.5”.

Strasbourg-based street artist Florian Rivière is back with a new, neat urban intervention! Last weekend, Rivière installed a little library on a sidewalk near Gare du Nord in Paris. The only ingredients Rivière used for his intervention are a tree cage and a wooden crate. Again, the urban hacktivist shows that tweaking an urban situation doesn’t require huge investments — it’s just about the idea. Be sure to check out Rivière’s website for more nice interventions!
