Hi @danieldegroot2 - is there a Wikidata that can go with this entry? Is this a genuine brand or does "Bibliocabine" just translate to bookcase? The web site for Bibliocabine generates an error when I tried to look.

http://bibliocabine.ch/ works for me, albeit with a certificate error.

No, there is not yet. It is okay like with previous PRs to merge it as-is.

This is their Facebook / Instagram page. The logo is usually signed on ones shown here.

It does not seem to overlap with little free library / bookcrossing.

Here is an archived version of their website. It does list more booths also without the logo signed.

Bibliocabine [the project] is promoted and financed by Ingrado Foundation
The Ticino Bibliocabins are run by various associations. Some of these are part of a project supported by the social institution Fondazione Ingrado Servizi per le dipendenze

Guests of the Ingrado Residential Centre in Cagiallo are involved in a social project in workshops called called BiblioLab and DecorArte.
It is a collaboration with Swisscom, which provided the booths free of charge

There are videos aired on Radiotelevisione Svizzera Italiana (RSI) in the programmes Il Quotidiano and Falò.

To set up a Bibliocabina in Ticino, you can contact the Ingrado workshop at the Cagiallo Residential Centre. It can be produced with various customizations. You need to pay for most of this.

There is also a mention of the DECS in the bottom right. They may have (indirectly) provided some funding as well.

Ingrado has another project 'Bibliocasette' but it is not a network.

The Bibliocasette continue the solidarity book exchange project started by the Bibliocabine. Each Bibliocasette is built in the carpentry workshop of the Cagiallo Residential Centre. [...] It is available in two sizes.

Ingrado does not have a wikidata page yet. (website)
Swisscom does have a wikidata page, though less relevant.
DECS does have a wikidata page (related entry)
(wikipedia page is not linked yet)

'bibliocabine'(fr/it) / 'bibliocabina'(it) is also a term for bookcase.

In 2022, DECS published an article about a survey which identified (may be regardless of brand/sign)

169 installations of different kinds: 124 bibliocabins, 20 benches/bookcases, 19 bibliocasettes, 2 vehicles and 4 other experiences.

Added DECS wikidata as workaround, though feel free to discard the commit and merge as-is.
(reminder, I am on Github browser so personally can only revert by manually adding another commit to remove it.)
