The idea that large quantities of books, real and imaginary, affect the nature of space and time, and that all such large masses of books are connected. The Bottom shelf is the Library of the Unseen University, Ank-Morpork (with acknowledgements to Terry Pratchett), the middle a good second hand bookshop and the top shelf is our library, Created by the Library Club Students at Sandown High School, Isle of Wight, England

Judge comments:
We don't usually fall in love with carts that re-create scenes in miniature, but Sandown High School had us at "Ank-Morpork." The shelves, books, and other props appear to be hand crafted, and the rope ladders are something every full-sized library should consider. They win a $50 gift certificate to the Unshelved store.
