Just read this on Pubic Libraries July/August 2007 issue. (Sorry, no electronic copy available. The picture was scanned and placed on Flickr.) An Australia library has launched its "Wheelbarrow Library " to promote reading, relaxation and library services to visitors and residents.
Couple times a week, depending on the availability of staff, sunscreen, and hats, library staff can be seen on the beach pushing a bright orange wheelbarrow full of withdrawn books. All beachgoers are invited to rummage through the barrow and select a book to read while they enjoy the beautiful summer weather. They believe people are able to improve their mind as well as their tans!
