pop-up library

Fleeting lending station

A pop-up library is a temporary lending collection set up in an unconventional location—a park, shopping center, or community event.

Like other pop-up ventures, it appears briefly to reach people who might not visit a traditional library: The pop-up library in the farmers market let kids check out books while their parents shopped.
