Those are books in the containers! This community library in France makes it almost like books grow on trees.
This sculpture at Harvard’s Houghton Library is made from more than 4,000 books and has caused something of a scandal. More on scandalous works of library art here.
I can’t answer the question of why some of the “powers that be” feel that it’s right to cut libraries in a time when they are needed most. Perhaps it’s a political game of chicken. Perhaps there are other things at play behind the scenes that my tiny librarian brain can’t even comprehend. All I know is that as long as the cuts are on the table, we are going to fight them.
