A street library with a reading room - seen in #Dusseldorf https://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelgrr/54959212018/in/dateposted-public/ #street #bookexchange #littlelibrary #books

the #eurostar departure area in #brussels now has a #bookexchange #littleLibrary! I had a lovely time browsing massive tomes with photos of Antwerp and Brussels while waiting for the train. There were only like a dozen books overall, so will try to bring a few the next time I pass through, hoping it's still there. Meanwhile in Dusseldorf, there are 29 #streetLibraries now: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/08/29-street-libraries.html

Discover the “Livres en Liberté” initiative in Strasbourg’s Orangerie Park, where books find new homes and reading becomes an open, shared experience.

We're back at the cottage in #PrestonBrook and, last night, took a walk down the #towpath of the #Bridgewater #Canal to the north portal of the #tunnel.

In almost the middle of nowhere it was a surprise to find a #bookexchange facility. I really wish I'd taken more notice of it, like how far it is from the tunnel mouth and whether it can be seen from a passing #boat. Not that I can imagine any passing boat would rush to moor and examine the bookcase's contents.

A bookcase found on the towpath. of the Bridgewater Canal. Beside it is a blue bin with a notice saying "poo bags only" (or something to that effect)

На полке обмена книгами появились чьи-то неудачные небольшие мозаики, чтобы самые плюшкины из нас взяли их к себе. #Fabrika #FabrikaCCI #artistrunspaces #bookexchange #freemarket #bookcrossing

This image shows a collection of book covers displayed on a wall or board. The books cover a wide variety of topics, including travel, technology, design, photography, beverages, literature, and more. Each cover has its own distinct design and color scheme, reflecting the subject matter of the book. Some notable titles include "Lonely Planet’s 1000 Ultimate Adventures," "The Juice Master," "How We Decide," "The Design of Everyday Things," "Emotional Design," "The Mythical Man-Month," and "The Humane Interface."

There are also books with a focus on specific technologies, like "Learning GNU Emacs," "UNIX Power Tools," "GNU Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool." Others are more regionally focused or themed, like "Life in the United Kingdom," "The London Coffee Guide," and "Time Out London Bars, Pubs & Clubs."

There are books on artistic and therapeutic approaches, such as "Art as Therapy" and titles addressing cooking and diets like "The Juice Master: turbo-charge your life in 14 days" and "The Top 100 Juices."

Additionally, there are works of fiction included, with "Wolf Hall" by Hilary Mantel being one example, and books that delve into personal narratives or historical events, such as "Miracles of Life" by J.G. Ballard and "The Panama Papers."

#WorldBookDay
A normal suburban street in the North Western suburb of Harrow, but look, and wonder!
This is not just the TARDIS, it is also a book hub, the location of today`s four bus adventure.
Sadly at the moment it has powered down......
though signs affixed thereon do promise that it will one day whirr in to regeneration mode....

#DoctorWho #Tardis #BookExchange #BookHub #Harrow

This photos is a long shot along a normal street, a red shuttered superstore with living accommodation above, and bay fronted, two storied, semi detached dwellings of shops, but in the centre of the photo a blue box has suddenly and thrillingly appeared.
Now readers of maturity may remember when these blue telephone boxes were placed about for members of the general public to summon the police.
To others, more youthful, slightly, it can only mean the TARDIS, and Doctor Who.
It is very authentic, a square blue box, just higher than the average humanoid, with two tiers of three closed in panels to each side then above that two windows above each tier, above which is a blacker blue strip. On this strip it says "Police" in large capital letters, then "Public" above "Call" in small capital letters, and then "Box" in large capital letters again,
Atop is a slightly domed roof, which is covered in plastic.
Is the TARDIS leaking?
Is that why it is out of action? Perhaps......

found another five of #Düsseldorf's amazing street libraries today, bringing my total to 18: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2023/08/23-street-libraries.html #BookExchange

With its instance-based foundation, I think Masto could be a much better platform for a #BookExchange than Twitter (which is not so good for it). Or just passing along #FreeBooks that you no longer want/need.
