Are some of your favorite
books pictured here? The titles include classics such as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mocking Bird, and A Tale of Two Cities.
With relationship to the
surrounding buildings, these “books” appear to involve a great job of photo editing.
However, that is not the case. In Kansas City, Missouri, this “Community Bookshelf”
is the façade of the downtown Kansas City Public Library parking structure. The
“books” are approximately 25 feet high and 9 feet wide. Kudos, Kansas City
Public Library Board of Trustees, for providing these “books” for passersby to
view each day.
Many people predict that
printed books will disappear, sooner rather than later. Some support for this
came with the most recent quarterly statement from my publisher in which eBook downloads
accounted for the majority of Child of
Desire sales. However, I was encouraged this week when our
great-granddaughter, Sophia, cried because her Mommy would not allow her to
have a book with her in the bathtub. She and our other great-grandchildren love
books and bedtime stories. Maybe this
new generation will save the printed book. We can only hope!
Sophia Alexandra Fuller, one of our little readers.
