bcWORKSHOP, organizer of the Little Free Libraries project in Dallas, just released a great video of the build day activities last weekend. Check out the Studio Outside library in Mill City and other really cool projects all around Dallas!
Little Free Libraries/Libros Libres is a literacy and community design initiative in Dallas that uses free book exchanges to build community and promote a culture of reading. Part of the Little Free Library movement started by Todd Bol and Rick Brooks, these small neighborhood book shelters operate under the guiding principle of “take a book, leave a book.” All libraries are publicly accessible and books are free. In March-May 2014, up to 20 Little Free Libraries will be built in neighborhoods in the Lincoln and Madison (South Dallas/Fair Park) and Pinkston (West Dallas) high school feeder patterns (up to 10 in each geography). Community members will work with designers and artists, given a $100 budget, to design and build the libraries. Free books will be supplied to stock the libraries, which will all be located in public places chosen by community members. Learn more at http://lfldallas.org/
