Chinese architecture firm LUO Studio has made a beetle-shaped micro library for children, from the abandoned frame of a bike-sharing scheme bicycle.

Called the Shared Lady Beetle, the micro library is designed to be an accessible resource for children recycled from something that had been carelessly thrown away.

The Atlantic reported last year that the number of abandoned bicycles was in the millions.
"As a designer living in the city, I have been thinking about the possibility for friendly reuse of those abandoned bikes," added Luo.
The bike was designed for a friend of LUO Studio's founder who works in education and was using a shopping cart to take his teaching props into schools.
It can also be used as a tiny sharing library that can be transported to different locations by bicycle, held in place and protected by the Shared Lady Beetle's hard casing.
