The project is heading on a 14 city tour in the very near future and anticipates an additional 7,500 books will make their way onto Brooklyn Art Library's shelves.
For $25, anyone can participate in the The Sketchbook Project, which allows strangers to share their inner thoughts and creativity with other strangers.
