ISO: Outdoor Reading Room ideas

We'd like to take advantage of good weather and encourage reading at the same time.  At this point we have the very basic idea to schedule ourselves outside on grassy lawn area of the school with blankets, beach chairs, maybe an umbrella or two and a cart of books.  Oh, and some lemonade. 

 

Has anyone had any experience with either an ongoing outdoor library or something even more permanent (landscaping, furniture, etc.)

 

Looking for ideas, even something as fun as "loaning" sunglasses for outdoor reading.

 

Thanks!

  • Whoa!  I haven't done such a thing, but my Friday afternoon "Books for the Weekend!" roving book cart may just have to get a lawn-time thing going!  Thanks for the fantastic idea.
