Pop-up Library Installed Near Canyon Charter School

Small library in Rustic Canyon area of Pacific Palisades houses a number of children and adult books for the public.

Have you seen that little building "pop up" across the way from Canyon Charter School since the holidays? 

Nick Korody, of Pacific Palisades, built a "pop-up library" as part of his architecture and urban studies at Vasser College in New York.

He built it over Christmas break from salvaged building materials, installed a small bench and bookshelves inside which holds a number of children and adult books. It's is part of his work at Vassar exploring community sharing through "popup" structures, available to all.
