Free Library
I recently stumbled across a link to any amazing project called Little Free Library on Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking. It started in the States and basically involves a weather proof box where you leave books you want to share with the neighbourhood. Locals borrow the books and then bring them back, same as you would with a regular library. People even contribute their own books.
It seems like a wonderful way to encourage community, sharing and reading. I wonder if it could take off here?

We have a library similar that in the city here, except it's inside someone's rowhouse. They host events there sometimes, and the walls are covered in books, magazines, journals... but everything is really unique. None of the usual stuff you'd find at a library. Things about homesteading, alternative medicine, wacky history, etc.
ReplyDeleteI like the traveling aspect of this one though. Sharing is something we need to do more of.
