VIDEO: A Library Tank that Gives Out Free Books

Electric Lit is just $4,000 away from our year-end fundraising goal of $35,000! We need to hit this target to get us through the rest of 2025, and balance the budget for 2026. Please give today! DONATE NOW.

While most tanks ruin lives, Argentinian artist Raul Lemesoff has built one to encourage reading. Lemesoff’s “Weapon of Mass Instruction” sculpture to “attack people in a very nice and fun way.” The “tank” is built on a 1979 Ford Falcon. The following video, produced by 7-UP, shows the mobile library in action.
