A few months ago a mysterious box appeared in my local park. At first I thought it was a bird house but as I got closer I noticed the little plaque engraved with LittleFreeLibrary.org. At that time there was only a couple a children's books but in a few short months the library has blossomed somewhat and grown in its maturity and selection. Check it out here is what is currently available:
While some of the titles are a little lacking (I'm looking at you Tori) there are still some good reads to be found. I'm a little surprised there aren't bibles, korans and other religious material stuffed in there. I think it's just a matter of time before they find it.
I definitely know where I will be donating some of my old books next time I'm doing a purge.
