Cool Bookish Places: A Real Nest for Reading

  A few months ago, I wrote about a small, portable reading room called “The Read Nest.” Now, I have a real nest made for reading. And it is huge. Designed by artist Mark Reigelman, The Reading Nest is installed in the garden of the Cleveland Public Library. Made of over 10,000 wood boards reclaimed from local industrial sites, the nest is 13 feet tall and 36 feet in diameter. The goal of the reading next is to provide quiet, isolated space for reading, sitting, and contemplation. The nest will be on display through October 13th, so if you are in the Cleveland area….well, you know what to do.   reading next medium shot                               reading nest piazza                       reading nest interior                           reading nest overhead                           ____________________________ Sign up for our newsletter to have the best of Book Riot delivered straight to your inbox every two weeks.
