Library Journal has an article titled, Using the Cube to Bring Back the Book.  A nonprofit group is going to be placing lightweight modular structures about New York and Boston this fall.  In their words:  will bring books and various programs to public spaces and underserved neighborhoods.  It will be interesting to see how this develops.
