Mini biblioteca. Foto publicada en el post original de greenprophet.com
Una idea interesante que me recuerda los intercambios de libros en Buenos Aires (Libros en Libertad), sé que también se acostumbra en España. En Buenos Aires, los libros se dejan por doquier, en el Norte de Tel Aviv se ha propuesto dejarlos en las paradas de colectivos, idea de dos artistas urbanos.
En la primera semana los libros desaparecieron (¿habrán pensado si los robaron?). Pero al final de la semana, los libros no sólo retornaron, sino que además, otros fueron agregados. Éxito total! Los lectores son alentados a llevar sus libros a sus casas para terminar de leerlos y luego pueden traer otros títulos para llenar los estantes. Un fragmento del post en inglés de Tafline Laylin, en greenprophet.com:
Here’s a novel idea: create a system of mini-libaries at bus stops in order to encourage reading and green transportation. Think it could never happen? Think again. Two urban artists, one of whom graduated from Israel’s Technion Faculty of Architecture, submitted their brainchild to the mayor of Kfar Saba, a small city north of Tel Aviv, who gave them his blessing. Although there were some initial reservations about how long the books would last, one resident told Ynet News that at the beginning of the first experimental week, the books disappeared. By the end of that week, not only were the books returned, but new ones were added.
Daniel Shushan and Amir Matalon conceived the idea to stock bus-stops with books dealing with all manner of subjects in order to help Kfar Saba residents pass the time while waiting or riding on the bus. After receiving the green light from Mayor Yehuda Ben-Hamo, they outfitted bus stops on either side of Weizman street with cookbooks, poetry books, novels, and other reading material.
Residents are even invited to take the books home in order to finish reading them, and to add different titles of their choosing to the shelves installed.
Que maravilla. Es algo que debe ser cultivado en todas partes. Una gran idea para cultivar la lectura.
