Micro Libraries – When Books Camp Outside – The BookYard

In Ghent, Belgium, St. Peter’s Abbey Vineyard has been a part of the town  landscape since the Middle Ages. Now this historic vineyard has gotten a  beautiful new addition, dubbed Bookyard, which was recently installed by the  Italian artist Massimo  Bartolini. Designed as part of the art festival Track:  A Contemporary City Conversation, 12 sweeping bookcases  align with the Abbey’s grapevines and harken back to an old world Europe that  was once filled with bounded print, and free from digital forms.
