Turns out a free ice library isn’t a library where you rent ice books -- but it is close though. This ice library is a small sculpture where pedestrians can borrow books for free.
A good book can be a great thing; if you’ve ever had the urge to rent a book while on the go this ice library can be the remedy. The library is part of a project called the Little Free Library project. The project sees people building small covered boxes with books inside for people to borrow whenever they see fit; all you have to do is leave one when you take one.
While the project itself is an awesome social experiment, this free ice library may be the best one yet and proves that reading can, in fact, be cool.
