Big Nate fictional library shenanigan

This is actually a great idea! I think library bookmobiles should totally do this!

Thanks, Will and Celie, my kids, who have read all the Big Nate books about a hundred times. This particular comic appears on page 29 of Big Nate: Here Goes Nothing (Harper, 2012).

Hernando Guanlao’s private public library

Hernando Guanlao has been running his own version of a public library for twelve years in Manila. The library has grown from about a hundred books to a few thousand. From the article: “The idea is simple. Readers can take as many books as they want, for as long as they want – even permanently. As Guanlao says: ‘The only rule is that there are no rules.’”

Thanks, Dina Wood!
