unconsumption: A group known as Book Swaps for London aims to establish a city-wide “book-sharing scheme in London’s tube and train stations.” Shelves are established in stations, and commuters can use them to pick up books they would like to read and drop off books that they want to give away. This scheme builds on already successful ones such as Bookcrossing and local pub and hostel swap schemes. (via Do The Green Thing: Books in unusual places)
