Little Free Libraries

[Spontaneo]

Have you ever seen or heard about Little Free Libraries? I see them all of the time on Twitter. People simply make them and put them in their front yards or driveways. People may pull up, take a book from the Little Free Library with hopes that the person will return the book when finished.

I would like to build a Little Free Library, but am not quite good at building things.

So, how about you? Have you heard of Little Free Libraries and/or do you have one?

I have heard about these. I've seen the designs of them where they look almost like a little birdhouse with a glass door. One system that I heard with these is that you can also leave a book, thereby introducing endless inventory of fresh new reading material throughout the city. There's an organization that's involved. Here's the website if you haven't seen it.

I follow Little Free Libraries on Twitter. Every day there are more and more Little Free Libraries tweeted! Very neat!

Some small towns have them in a box along the side of the road. Very cute.

I have seen pictures of these on Facebook and Pinterest and one when I was traveling in Wisconsin. They are a great idea for people that aren't close to a big library or just to bring a neighborhood together.

I would love to have one. I am just worried maybe creepers would stop by.

I have seen quite a few of these! They look like little shelves with doors that are see through or just cabinets with the proper signage. I thought they were a very creative idea. I do not currently have one because my landlord is not on board for it but a lot of people in my city do have them. Even our local parks do.

I love them! They are so cute. We have a few in the public parks around me. Ours goes by the "take a book, leave a book" system. We have added a few books when cleaning out the car before! One interesting book I found in one was something along the lines of discussion topics and recipes for funerals!

I really like little free libraries! I have a few near me and there are always books that are interesting in many genres!

I think that's a good idea. Bookreaders are a great community. We have to stay together through all times. Sharing books with each other is a way to save some money and environment. I have a library cafe where you need just to buy coffee and use a huge amount of books.
