Take a book; leave a book. When you walk on the streets of Germany, you feel you (surround) by books. In Germany, public bookshelves are lined across nation on street corners, city squares and supermarkets.
In the free-for-all (library), people can take whatever they want to read, and leave behind anything they want for (other). There's no need to register, no due date, and you can take or give as many as you want. This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read—without regard to age or education. It is open for . Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover, with all the old titles (replace) by new ones. The public book shelves are usually cared for by local volunteer groups.
Germans think they should make easy for everyone to enjoy (read) in this “reading culture on the street”—from old readers to kids. While most of the shelves have so far been put up in rich neighbourhoods, they are (plan) to put up future shelves in poor neighbourhoods, people often don't have easy access to literature.
