1. Check out the Cornelia Street Lending Library near our offices! They’re accepting books and DVDs, no magazines please. There aren’t any NYRB titles included yet, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled. These little free libraries are a welcome respite from seeing discarded titles on the sidewalk. And the solar-powered nightlight on this one is a very nice touch.

  2. A True Deceiver–inspired haiku, part of Feeding the Paper Ghosts, a guerrilla arts project for libraries.… I go into a library and choose a book. I copy the book cover and one of the pages chosen at random and use these to make a postcard. The postcard has a collaged image and a short poem (a haiku) and also the name of the book written on it. I put the postcard into another book in the library. Read more about the project here.
