Literary Underground

The Underground New York Public Library is a visual library, a.k.a. a blog and Facebook page by photographer Ourit Ben-Haim, that showcases the "Reader-Riders" of the NYC subways. 

As Ben-Haim says:

 

This library freely lends out a reminder that we’re all capable of traveling to great depths within ourselves and as a whole.

Beautiful.

We Lowcountry dwellers don't have a subway, or even a well-used bus system, but maybe there's a local equivalent? A place where you find folks face-planted in books, traveling to great depths??  I hope so.

Be on the lookout. Take some snapshots and let Grit know.

And for a vicarious sense of literary urbanism, subscribe to the Underground NY Library blog or "Like" the FB page, and get some good booklist tips. Ride away, be inspired.
