What accepts plastic instead of a library card and turns discarded trash into reading time?

Meet Limbah Pustaka—Indonesia’s Trash Library! 🇮🇩♻️📚

On the island of Java, librarian Raden Roro Hendarti found a creative way to address two challenges at once: plastic waste and limited enthusiasm for reading.

Every weekday, she loads books onto a three-wheeled vehicle and travels to children in Muntang Village.

But the children don’t arrive with money.

They arrive carrying discarded plastic cups, bags and other recyclable waste.

They exchange the plastic for the opportunity to borrow a book!

As books leave the shelves, the three-wheeler fills with collected trash. The waste is later sorted and either recycled or sold.

The Trash Library has a collection of approximately 6,000 books, giving children plenty of stories and subjects to explore.

Hendarti’s program collects approximately 220 pounds of waste each week while encouraging children to read, spend less time playing online games and take better care of their environment.

No membership fee.

No traditional library building.

No plastic thrown onto the ground.

Just one determined librarian, a three-wheeled mobile library and an idea that turns litter into literacy.

We may cancel today’s stops due to lightning. A nearby strike could cause electrical damage to our solar equipment and other electronics.

Firefly Hollow. I haven’t finished it yet, but I’m loving it. My takeaway so far? You can feel afraid and still be brave. Don’t let fear keep you from discovering what’s possible. ✨

Another young reader has already added The Tiger Rising by Kate DiCamillo to my list. These kids are keeping my reading pile stacked! 😂

What looks like a military tank, carries approximately 900 books and travels through the streets giving them away for free?

Meet Argentina’s Weapon of Mass Instruction! 🇦🇷📖

Argentine artist Raúl Lemesoff transformed a 1979 Ford Falcon into one of the most unusual mobile libraries in the world.

He covered the vehicle with metal bookshelves, added a rotating turret and shaped the entire creation to resemble a tank.

But this “weapon” doesn’t fire am******on.

It distributes books!

The shelves hold hundreds of donated titles, including novels, poetry, biographies and books for children.

Lemesoff drives through Buenos Aires and other communities, stopping for pedestrians, cyclists and anyone interested in taking a book.

And there’s no library card, checkout date or promise to return it.

The books are completely free. Lemesoff only asks that people read them.

By turning a symbol commonly associated with conflict into a vehicle for literacy, he created what he describes as a contribution to “peace through literature.”

I have a kid that’s really excited about me reading Firefly Hollow so I’m putting the other books on my TBR list on hold!

The kids have spoken!

Our bus stair risers haven’t had a refresh in a while, so we let the kids vote on what comes next. The winners? Winnie the Pooh and Diary of a Wimpy Kid!

But Oh, the Places You’ll Go! will always stay. It’s a little encouragement with every climb, a reminder that their next step can lead somewhere amazing. 💙
