Think differently #eqnz #gapfiller [please RT]

I’m working with Coralie Winn of Gap Filler to set up a temporary Book Exchange in CHCH.

We’d love you to send us a copy of a book that made you THINK DIFFERENTLY in some way, to take part in this installation project. We’re hoping that this will be a fun project for people to take participate in, and to benefit from, and we hope that by going with the THINK DIFFERENTLY theme it may be another way to bring inspiration to people in Christchurch.

HOW ITS GOING TO WORK

Books will be placed in a glass fronted fridge on an prominent earthquake gap site in CHCH (site details still being finalised). The fridge will have THINK DIFFERENTLY emblazoned on its double front, glass doors. People will be free to help themselves to books, and also free to add books to the fridge.

Books will have a Bookcrossing Identification (BCID) so when a book is collected, the BCID can be entered into www.bookcrossing.com and it’s journey can be tracked.

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?

1. Grab a book that’s caused you to think differently in some way, about any aspect of your life, the world, religion, children, the environment. It’s open to interpretation.

2. Write a wee note to accompany the book.

3. Post it off to:

Gap Filler
31 Parlane St 
Addington
Christchurch 8024

4. Keep an eye on the Gap Filler Website / FB group for announcements about when we’ll be opening the fridge doors to the browsing public!

WHEN / WHERE IT’S GOING TO BE

The site of the Herbal Dispensary on the corner of Barbadoes and Kilmor Streets in CHCH in a couple of weeks time (date TBA).

This is sweet :) husbandwet: “[Rick] Brooks and [Todd] Bol are the cofounders of the nonprofit Little Free Library. In 2009, they began fabricating and installing little libraries around Madison, WI. The libraries are essentially a nicely designed, weatherproof hutch mounted on poles, which contain a collection of about 20 books and a sign that reads “Take a Book, Leave a Book.”“ (via)
