The Long Read Bench

A park bench with one great book, bolted on like a medieval library.

The Vision

One bench, one book, one steel cable - the way medieval libraries chained their treasures. Each Long Read Bench holds a single weatherproof edition of a book chosen for that exact spot: the river bench gets a river book. You read as long as you sit, and the bookmark ribbon remembers where the neighborhood got to.
