Co-Create London is a new social initiative giving everyone the chance to change their suburban area with ideas ranging from free WiFi across the city to cheaper Oyster Cards. The social aspect of it brings people’s brainpower to the fore, and lets citizens really make a difference.

One of the leading ideas currently featured on Co-Create London is for library-style book kiosks to be positioned around Tube stations across the capital, so that commuters are never without a spot of reading material.

If the user comments are anything to go by, it’s an idea that has been met with numerous thumbs-up, including ‘Matt from London’:

“This would be nice. And it could double up as a distribution point for small independent magazines etc. that can’t get stocked in newsagents.”

Others have mentioned how the idea is similar to a website called www.bookcrossing.com where people simply leave their finished books in public places so that other people can pick them up, ‘own them’, and enjoy them too – before heading to Bookcrossing.com to let the previous owner know where the book is now so it’s route around the country, and possibly the world, can be tracked.

The book kiosks idea for the London Underground currently has 78 votes and lies in second place, ahead of calls for air conditioning on Tube trains.
