ROOSEVELT ISLAND — Visitors to Roosevelt Island's Four Freedoms Park will be able to find a book to read without leaving the area, thanks to a traveling library that's making a stop there later this month.
A pop-up library created by Street Lab, a nonprofit group from Boston that creates programs for public spaces, will be stopping at the park on Oct. 24 and 25, offering a collection of literature to choose from.
The portable reading room, called the UNI, comes in the form of an 8-foot cube that is arranged to make seating, work surfaces, a stage and a podium.
Visitors can use the pop-up library for free from noon to 5 p.m. and the event will coincide with the Four Freedoms Park Conservancy's Imagination Playground for kids.
The event was originally planned for Oct. 3, but was postponed due to weather.
