I knew I kinda recognized the neighbourhood, but this is a really nice initiative from Paris and Rouen public libraries!
There is even a model that has a small electrical assistance, to make it easier to go around.
@ParadeGrotesque @JasonThorne oh thats so nice. I will ask my local library about this 😍
Schaut mal @stbibkoeln , wäre diese mobile Hängematte n Bibliothek nicht was für euren Fuhrpark? Ich würde auch mal fahren, dass würde sich sich ganz gut in mein Ehrenamt bei Radeln ohne Alter einreihen 😇
@JasonThorne Amandine Lagut's Bibliambule!

Thank you, they are truly wonderful! Each bespoke #bicycle trailer is so full of precise ideas.
The library in Valleyview, Alta. is caught in the crosshairs of an international movement. Books stolen, its funding cut. At its heart: a group of queer teens and a movement that would see 2SLGBTQ+ identity removed from public view.
An EMERGENCY mobile bicycle-trailer pop-up library ... with hammocks.
This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.
