Bookish Chicago residents who commute regularly on CTA trains, you’re in luck: next week, the train will be converted into a mobile library for a week.

“Books on the L” is part of Chicago Ideas Week, a seven-day innovation and ideas conference hosting events, activities, and lectures from public figures, and in an effort to encourage reading, the Chicago Transit Authority will be leaving a trail of hundreds of books of all genres—by Martin Rothblatt, Michael Strahan, Scott Shane, and Missouri senator Claire McCaskill—in the passenger cars of the L train for your reading leisure. (That is, until you reach your final stop. Then you have to give them back.)

The books will be available from Oct. 12 through Oct. 18; you can revel in the merriment by reading literature, and sharing your train read on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter using the hashtag, #BooksOnTheL.

Open Books, a nonprofit that creates programs and delivers books to schools and nonprofits across Chicago, provided a generous donation to support the program.
