Love this tote. It is perfect for library runs. I usually end up stuffing it with about 15 children's size books and a half dozen DVDs, plus. It is very durable, thoughtfully designed, seems waterproof. The top does not have a closure, but when I stuff it to capacity I couldn't think of closing it anyway. The Bixi red on black design is nice, and it can reverse to just the bright red with the logo showing. The inside pocket is wide, but not very deep so it won't hold a water bottle very stable.
