A River Made Of 10,000 Glowing Books Flows Through Toronto

This large, interactive art installation is created by group of anonymous artists/activists who "want literature to take over the streets and conquer public spaces, freely offering those passersby a traffic-free place which, for some hours, will succumb to the humble power of the written word."
