Artist Cameron Granger brings his community library project from Ohio to Mumbai where you get to swap books of all genres

(Above and below) American artist Cameron Granger got 16 artists to create books for this project
The popular kindergarten quote "sharing is caring" disappears from your vocabulary once capitalism hits you as an adult. The emphasis here is on ownership. So, when you spot a pretty or popular book that you know you won't complete, you buy it anyway. It is this consumerist idea that got American artist Cameron Granger to conceive of "A library, for you," in March last year. It began with the simple idea of a community lending library, but with a twist: it had to travel to places and at the same time, start with original, personal narratives. Last Saturday, the 26-year-old travelled to Mumbai to set up his project at Colaba's Ikattha Space.
