Description
Boats, camels, phone boxes, rail stations, hotels, pre-fabs, pop-ups, pubs, people's palaces and your own back garden - welcome to the libraries of the future! From the rise of the egalitarian Little Free Library movement (motto: 'Take a book, return a book') to the growth in luxury hotel libraries, Alex Johnson - whose parents were both librarians - maps out the history and future of the 21st-century library revolution, each chapter consisting of a brief essay followed by illustrated project profiles.
