How can one inspire townspeople to read more, unless you put a book of immense proportions to face them in the busiest part of the town? So in Kansas, Missouri, there is a big parking garage which from the outside looks as a giant bookshelf.

The garage takes up 25 metres. The shelf contains 22 titles reflecting the widest range of interest for the readers, as proposed by the readers in Kansas, and then selected by the City Public Library Board.
