The Bentonville’s Public Library (BPL) is partnering with the Bentonville Parks and Recreation Department, the Public Art Advisory Committee and Friends of the Bentonville Library to request proposals for a book-sharing box prototype for installation in city parks. These library boxes will allow community members to take a book or leave a book, available seven days a week, 24 hours a day and accessible to all. The objective is to combine the concept of Little Free Libraries® with public art, creating a unique installation that is both an attraction and a service to the community. The book box should be designed in a manner that helps promote and encourage reading and represents the importance of literacy in our community. Units designed to include up to three (3) storage areas for children’s, adult/teen books and/or community resources are of particular interest.
