Pop-up libraries

A scrapbook celebrating the wee neighbourhood community libraries and book swaps.
You don’t need much, even a box will do. So swop, borrow, return your own books, and be part of a growing community of impromptu reading.
Do you have a pop-up library in your street or stair? Share your photo on Edinburgh Collected and we’ll add it to this scrapbook.
