Bookbricks popping up all over the place

What a cool way to use books rescued from a fire–just don’t check out the ones at the bottom of the librarian’s desk there. (I’m noticing the titles are turned in out of sight just in case.)

I wonder who first thought that books would make not only great bricks, but a mushroom farm–there’s this one in Quebec.

Creativity rocks!

I love the library desk…but not sure I can appreiciate the outdoor use, complete with mushrooms “sown” in them.

I love the desk! And so appropriate for a library.

“We are stardust. We are golden. And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.” (Thank you Joni Mitchell.) Though I’m with Ruth on the sowing-of-mushrooms.

Love the desk. Wonder if there were any knitting books in there.

Clever idea, but I’m not sure I’d be checking out books at the TOP of the stack.

These are amazing. Thank for drawing our attention to book bricks.
