Pimp My [Book] Ride
Unshelved has chosen its picks for their 2008 contest, Pimp My Bookcart. The competition, sponsored by Smith System, encouraged any institutions that utilized the almighty book cart to deck out the rolling shelving units and enter the running. The contest received over 100 submissions this year from places all around the globe — schools, libraries, bookstores, even a jail.
First prize was awarded to the pimpiest bookcart, Food for Thought, by Student Employees of Columbia University Library. They expanded on the hot dog vendor theme to create a unique literary transporter that looked like Oscar Mayer-on-wheels, but was actually loaded with delicious books. Good on you, Student Employees of Columbia University Library!
Second Prize went to Phoenix Rising by Harlem High School Welding 3. These ingenious students transformed a boring old bookcart into a pretty impressive miniature firetruck. Also notable is the expandable ladder on top of the cart, which has a cherry picker-like bucket on the end — complete with a stuffed, and presumably freshly-rescued, cat.
There was also a Kid’s Special Prize, as well as a whole slew of runners-up. My personal favorite is Joad’s Jalopy, by the Briargate Branch of Pikes Peak Library District. The entry, inspired by Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, is a bookcart pimped out to look like an old-fashioned whitetrashmobile. Yee-haw!

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.

WHAT IS A SNARK?
The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.
But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
