Meantime, those looking to take a break from the displays won't have to go far with a nearby lounge crafted on creation.

Nova Iorque está a transformar cabinas telefónicas obsoletas em mini-bibliotecas (com fotos) Publicado em 29 de Fevereiro de 2012. Apesar de os cidadãos nova-iorquinos possuírem 17 milhões de telemóveis, a Grande Maçã ainda preserva, nas suas ruas, 13.659 cabinas telefónicas. Foi a pensar nesta estatística que o Departamento de Melhoramento Urbano decidiu transformar estes pedaços obsoletos de metal em mini-bibliotecas, como nos conta o arquitecto de intervenção urbana John Locke, responsável pela ideia.

Locke, que tem nome de visionário, colocou dentro das cabinas uma infra-estrutura de madeira – cor-de-laranja e com dez divisórias para livros – criando uma forma inteligente de lhes dar uma nova vida e contribuindo para a vida em comunidade. Os livros foram doados pelos cidadãos. A primeira instalação, porém, não foi bem-sucedida. Colocada numa zona com pouco tráfego pedonal, os livros desapareceram em seis horas e a prateleira durou apenas dez dias.

Agora, uma nova mini-biblioteca foi criada na Rua 96, perto de transportes públicos e junto à Broadway. Global Cities.
