A street bookcase appeared in Vladimir

VLADIMIR. City authorities in conjunction with the regional scientific library. Gorky launched the social educational project “Blue Cabinet”. Opposite the library building on the street. Dzerzhinsky can now see a small cabinet of blue color, on the shelves of which are books of a wide variety of genres: from educational and classical literature to love and detective novels.

You will be able to take your favorite book with you to read on the bench in the park or to take home. As it turned out, the product does not have to be returned. According to the library staff, all publications exhibited on the shelves of the street cabinet in the library fund were replaced with newer copies, therefore, in order not to throw out books, this social project was also invented. However, the library storage is not dimensionless, so the organizers are asking residents to also participate in the action and bring unnecessary books from their home libraries.

Citizens will be able to use a kind of street mini-library at any time of the day. Moreover, the “blue cabinet” is likely to stand on the street opposite the regional library throughout the year. In the event that the project gains great popularity among Vladimirites, then over time, the area near the street cabinet can turn into an all-weather reading zone in the open air.

The organizers of the social project believe that, for example, in the near future the “blue cabinet” will become not just an open library, but will be transformed into a creative workshop where meetings of local poets and authors, beginning writers and ordinary readers interested in literature will be held.

The idea of attracting people with literature using unusual art objects belongs to marketer Alexander Linnik and engineer Felix Gurvich from Kaliningrad. The library associations liked this project so much that similar street “blue cabinets” began to appear in other cities of Russia and even beyond its borders. So, a similar bookcase is already standing on one of the central streets of Tel Aviv.
