Do you have a free little library in your area?

[Agne]

No but I wish I did...

[[RR]]

Yes, I do! Although I don't really use it... I tend to lose notion of time so when I look at the clock it's very late already and I don't really like the streets around it at that time: they're too empty for my taste.

There is a gated community in my county that has a little library behind their chapel. As an employee working for the owner's association I was allowed to use it. It is the only thing I miss about that job.

I've seen them, they're pretty cool. Unfortunately, the one in my area is still a fair way away

[autumnmarie]

Wow that sounds like so much fun, I wish there was one around me. I've never even heard of this before!

[readinginreview4]

This sounds like a good idea! Maybe I'll do that one day only problem is you just don't know who the trust worthy people are anymore :/

People should envy those who have set up shop with their mini libraries at work, etc. Little things like that tell me that such places of work exude a very comfortable environment for their employees, promoting retention and, correspondingly, lessening attrition.

I don't have one in my community but my brother in law put one in his front yard for the neighborhood. He is also a teacher so promoting reading is a passion of his.

I have a free library in my area, but I also have a free bookstore! Basically, volunteers rescue books thar are destined for a landfill and then rent out space and people can go and take as many as they want. It's officially my favourite place!

[Titanoboa92]

I do, but I haven't used it yet. I think little free libraries are great ideas though and have been thinking of starting my own.

[Tiffanye1]

Unfortunately we don't have anything like that here. I have seen pictures of the little mailbox looking ones and think its a great idea! My bookcases are always open to family and friends though:)

[laureng]

Yes, in Austin, TX, where I live they had a little shelf in someone's yard where you could drive by and pick up or drop off books. Not sure if they have it still, but its a great idea.

I have a public library if that's what you mean. I also just found a cheap bookstore that I want to check out soon.

[Anna Meyer]

Yes. In our country there's a library in each town.

[AmberLupin]

Yup, we have a small one down the street and a larger one in the center of town.
