The instructions were to enter a “tricked out” version of a standard book cart, making it as elaborate as possible using themes, paint, or props. The only rules? The cart still had to be able to roll and to hold at least a few books!
The OISE Library book truck, OISE ABT (All-Book Terrain) Vehicle: Ready for Anything, was designed and assembled by Joanne Lynes, Access Services Associate and Artist. Contributions to the book truck — lights, mirrors, rope, duct tape, reflectors, etc. — were made by other Library Staff.
Drop by the Ground Floor of the Library to check it out! It’s located next to our Suggestion Board, right across from the Circulation Desk.
