City Shelves are small, themed collections of books placed strategically around Kansas City in locations where people have a little bit of spare time.  The idea is to enable people to use that spare time to do something it’s harder and harder to find time to do these days:  sit down and escape into a good book.  But these aren’t just any books...they’re chosen by a librarian to form a collection that is carefully curated.  Nothing boring or lame here, this is just the good stuff.  Participants will have access to a project blog (this blog!) where they can leave their thoughts, book reviews, photos, or whatever else.
