17 Creative Pop-Up Libraries

From Mini Park Libraries to Book-Lending Trucks

— June 11, 2013 — Social Good
The need to improve literacy amongst youths has been an on-going challenge in many countries, but these creative pop-up libraries are making the process of reading and learning much more accessible to the public.

Going to the library often requires individuals to have the access and means to get there, and since some people don't have the opportunity to do so, these pop-up designs are bringing all those literary resources straight to the people themselves. Reading and widening your imagination can add a lot of joy and inspiration to a person's life, and these wonderful pop-up libraries are spreading that joy to as many people as they can.

From petite pop-up libraries you can step under to those featured at your local bus stop, these accessible reading stations offers individuals a more practical way to read their favorite novels.
