BOÎTES À LIRE

Since early 2017, the pink city, through the Bibliothèque de Toulouse, has been hatching reading boxes in its various neighborhoods. Made from recycled materials, these installations were created by an associative reinsertion workshop. The aim is to get books out of people's libraries and let them circulate freely from hand to hand! The principle is simple: you drop off the books you think are worth reading and/or borrow the one that catches your eye, free of charge. Each box can shelter around forty books from the elements, just waiting to find new readers. Twenty-seven boxes have been distributed throughout the city: Square Charles de Gaulle behind the Capitole, Compans-Caffarelli garden, Place Job aux Sept Deniers, Avenue de l'URSS in the Saint-Michel district, Pouvourville, Soupetard, Croix de Pierre... No one has been forgotten! Here's to chance literary discoveries!
