BOOK CROSSING

Book crossing is a practice that emerged in the early 2000s and involves leaving books in public places so that others can find them, read them and put them back into circulation. It is based on the free sharing of stories and emotions, with the idea of ‘setting books free’ and allowing them to travel from reader to reader. Book crossing sees books as bridges connecting people and places, making every exchange a simple yet poetic gesture.
