Bookcrossing (bookcrossing) is a worldwide social movement, the purpose of which is the free exchange of books (printed publications are simply left in the agreed places and anyone can take them there). In Germany, this movement is very widespread. Proof of this - book forest Bucherwald on one of the Berlin streets.
Libraries are not going through the best times in their history right now. However, thanks to bookcrossing, the whole world is turning into one huge library - after all, places for exchanging books can literally be anywhere. For example, right on a Berlin street, where the artist BauFachFrau created a special Bucherwald bookcase.
Bucherwald (not to be confused with the Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald!) Is a real book forest. This object was created from several old logs found by the artist in the forest. BauFachFrau has fastened four of these trunks into a single array and installed them on one of the streets of Berlin.
In each of these barrels, the artist cut out special containers, where several books can easily fit. To protect the volumes from the weather, BauFachFrau covered each of the shelves with a plastic door.
In total, Bucherwald is designed for one hundred books, which can be in it at the same time.
Berliners enthusiastically supported the artist's idea! Not even an hour passes without some lover of good literature coming up to the Bucherwald book forest to pick up a new book and leave it already read.
According to the observations of the artist BauFachFrau, who regularly visits Bucherwald and examines the assortment there, on the shelves of this book forest, children's literature takes the first place in terms of the number of copies, and only then there are “adult” fiction books in German and English.
