The smallest library in the world has appeared on the streets of New York City---and it has space for just one reader at a time.The bright yellow plastic building has 40books and its purpose(目的) is to help travelers take a break with a good story.
The Little Free Library was designed by two creative architects(建筑師) using recycled materials,with holes allowing visitors to look in before they enter the building.Architects Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente said the library creates an environment which keeps its users in the experience of reading books.
The library in Manhattan has attracted(吸引) a great deal of interest since it was set last month."The Little Free Library idea was created about three years ago and quickly started to appear in the other places,including Europe,Africa and India,"Mr.Ertorteguy said.
