Literary Lots is turning vacant spaces into temporary, real-life constructions of popular children's book scenes.
That's what Literary Lots founder Kauser Razvi asked herself before she revitalized her first abandoned lot in Cleveland. An urban planner by training, Literary Lots -- temporary, real-life constructions of popular children's book scenes -- is something she does in her free time.
"It was an excellent use of the space that we wouldn't have been able to do on our own," branch manager of the Carnegie West Branch, Angela Guinther, said."People still ask about it." The 2013"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" Literary Lot included structures such as sandwich boats and"giant" pasta tubes."20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" in 2014 had a giant submarine and octopus play structure.
"I read the book in 2017 and I was so touched by it," said Razvi."['The Wild Robot'] is about how you show up for other people no matter who they are or where they come from, about building community and the community standing up for you." "[Literary Lots] gives people a stronger sense of belonging," Christopher Alvarado, the executive director of Slavic Village Development, said."When you have people being creative in public in a sort of way that is respectful of the neighborhood, it gives people a sense of pride."
