Kickstarter Pick: The Hundred Story House

Traveling, miniature, movable libraries aren't a new thing, but they are a wonderful thing, acting as both a mobile book lender and a friendly reminder to put down your phone and pick up a book (because, sadly folks, playing Words With Friends doesn't count as a literary pursuit.) The latest mobile library is Brooklyn's Hundred Story House, a "piece of interactive public art" modeled after a Brooklyn brownstone that literally opens its window to lend you books, about a hundred of them. Or at least it will if it gets funded on Kickstarter by March 2nd. 

The project's founders are asking for $13,000 to build, insure and maintain The Hundred Book House, though we'd bet that most of the subsequent maintenance and costs associated with moving the house around to other Brooklyn parks will mostly be a labor of love. And be honest: How can you not support that?
