Pimp My Bookcart

Every year the creative minds at Unshelved present "Pimp My Bookcart." Now, librarians know what a bookcart is. It is simply the cart we use to reshelve materials.
Pimp My Bookcart shows the artistic side of a profession largely believed to stick to the uniform order of Dewey. Check out some of these carts and let us know if they don't make you smile.
Perhaps next year, our very own Beatties Ford Road will throw in our hat to compete against these fine bookcart designers.
