The Book Barge was a wandering thing for years, moved on every fortnight by the canal's rules, until a campaign won it a permanent mooring by Granary Square in 2015. The hull is a hundred-year-old Dutch barge, the shelves inside hold new and second-hand books around a stove, and the roof carries a piano and a small stage for readings and jazz on summer evenings, with cushions on the towpath for the audience.
