Nice Ride

book truckAll libraries have book trucks, or as they are sometimes called, book carts. That's a fact, Jack. Most libraries consider these merely methods of transportation or bookshelves or places to keep lunches. They squeak, they're usually metal and ugly, and sometimes they tip over on worker's toes.
The enterprising people at unshelved.com sponsored a (you should pardon the expression) "Pimp My Bookcart" contest. The creators of the winners had way too much time on their hands. You'll notice that are all extremely weird (the carts, that is,) yet surprisingly still functional.
Ask the creative and enterprising staff at your local library to get with it and make lovely swans out of those ugly ducklings.
