Book swaps near and far

This last week one of our volunteers, who also works with the amazing Mill community centre in Walthamstow, was in New York and spotted some outdoor book trolleys in the Bryant Park Reading Room, behind the New York Public Library. They look to be very robust, lockable and are even  sponsored by HSBC. Have a look:

Wouldn’t it be great to see something like these in tube and train stations here in London?

Speaking of London, twitter user @NiamhCoghlan tweeted last week about what looks like a pop-up book swap in Kingly Street in Soho, and got a nice picture of what she picked up – have a look!
