The modern library

I’ve only ever paused outside the library  / gallery 72 Rivington Street to note its brilliant book-stack window display. This week the window display was gone, but I ventured inside and found this modern take on the librarian’s trolley. Yes, basically a set of shelves on wheels, but as mentioned a few times, we love a good book display here. I’m picturing it in my house as a hallway table or a chest for the spare room. On top of it are library cards and application forms. Do I have use for a display clip board in my house? I want to say yes.

The library was also selling these Light Up Your Mood switch stickers by London illustrator Henrietta Swift – cute for a kid’s room (and only £6) if the rest of your house is too grown up. Do I need to hang anything with pegs from a piece of rope in my house? Again, I want to say yes.

Finally, this is the polystyrene installation by the library door, which may or may not make you want to start sculpting old packaging for a wall in your own home. Clumsy me shouldn’t even try this one.

Anyway, cool place and worth a visit if you can.
