Yesterday I made after a long learning and writing day a little trip in the Prenzlauer Berg, to me there to see the forest of books. It is a kind of open bookcase, which was built there until the end of June.
came the idea for, among others, the group BAUFACHFRAU Berlin eV - a non-profit educational and employment support for women in construction and Baunebenberufen, as they write on their website.
The book consists of five forest tribes of about 2.5 m height: birch, pine and oak are installed. It was built by students of different professional groups of the value chain in forestry and wood-book.
In each of the strains found in the trunk recessed boxes, which are protected by a thick, yet flexible and transparent Kunsstoffplane. Here, pedestrians, local residents or tourists - who just just passing by - set to take books and books. A kind of just open library.
I got the idea of such an open library already met in Mainz and was already excited. But the way how this principle was implemented in Berlin, is a lot more. The design with the natural substance 'wood' is beautiful.
is certainly advantageous that the tree books in Prenzlauer Berg, just a very vibrant and lively district stands, restaurants, shops, bars and a playground just around the corner.
One could now assume that as an open library is browsed quickly. But far from it: while I was there and I looked at the forest of books and the books were two men and brought piles of books that fit almost all not on the shelves. The forest is well received and also applies to interest and enthusiasm among passers-by.
Two female tourists - they ran around with a guide - I had the same enthusiastic to tell what it is the forest of books and what BookCrossing is.
is also a board is placed where the principle is explained, but I think that most books are simply parked Sun Not all people are so nerdy to want to sign every book on the web.
If you want to see some pictures from the forest of books, so look
