Public library campaigns for a Hulk statue

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      A public library in Northlake, Illinois, has hit upon an inventive scheme to get kids into its building.

      Part of a crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo, the proposed 9-foot-tall statue of Bruce Banner's green-hued alter ego would encourage "library community members to make their own personal transformations through books, programs, and awesome new equipment."

      Of course, the library is also planning to purchase and build a creation station featuring an iMac computer with a drawing pad, editing software, Cintiq interactive-pen display, a 3D printer, and an Artograph Light Tracer Elite.

      With a goal of US$30,000, the campaign features some pretty cool perks, such as a firefighter pizza party, a comic-themed library card, a Hulk plaque, and a sketch by New Ghostbusters artist Erik Burnham.

      Real books? Seriously are you still so far back in the stone ages that you can't accept the value of graphic novels? They're kids they can read something fun. I bet you don't always read the classics every day.
