DON'T FORGET TO DUCK

One of the world’s smallest lending libraries has been unveiled in New York City, a tiny yellow depository for book-loving Manhattanites to take a quick break from city life. The library is little more than a round, yellow plastic tank atop four wooden legs. Passersby can simply duck under and browse from 40 books on its circular inner shelf. The library can barely fit two people at a time, and will be open to residents and visitors to the city until September. The outdoor installation is one of 5,000 “Little Free Libraries” in the U.S. and abroad.
