Monte Grimano Terme is a village in the Marches (Italy), which has had the excellent idea to set up permanent shelves of BookCrossing. Especially as you enter the village under the sign with the name of the town, there is also one what qualifies the village as “the town of the BookCrossing”.
The
BookCrossing, a sociological phenomenon of global importance, is an
original way to share books and encourage reading, and the small italian
town has thought to present itself as the city-symbol of this practice.
In the village there is
appropriate signs indicating the “tower of books”, and the “reading
terrace”. The tower is a bell tower inside which are books on tables and
shelves. The “reading terrace” is outdoors in a public park where there
are tables and chairs painted with a pleasant fuchsia; in this area
there is also an open shelf adequately protected from the weather (there
are others shelves around the village)
The books are officially
registered on the BookCrossing site with the appropriate label and also
report a stamp of Monte Grimano Terme.
With an organization like this Monte Grimano Terme will certainly become the capital of BookCrossing, maybe not only for Italy!
