Oh, friends, I have the most wonderful idea to share with you this week—Little Free Libraries. Have you heard of them? These are small, wooden mini-libraries, little “houses” that can be mounted on a fencepost anywhere! Take a book, leave a book. The possibilities are endless.
Little Free Libraries are popping up everywhere, and you can have one, too. The Little Free Library web page has plans for building and links to where you can buy one. Be aware, though, that buying one can be pricey.
Are there any carpenters out there willing to barter with me? I’ll do some writing/editing work for you if you’ll build a Little Free Library for me. Can you tell that I REALLY want one?!
This week’s question: If you had a Little Free Library, what would you do with it and which books would you put inside?
BONUS–FREE PODCAST: Listen to a free Podcast interview with Rick Brooks and Todd Bol on Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Here on Earth” show. The show host, Jean Feraca is one of my favorites. Check out her other show topics in the “Here on Earth” archives.
And don’t forget to “like” Little Free Library on Facebook.

There's a restaurant nearby, which has a bookshelf that operates on the same concept. There are also bookshelves at my mother's complex. The residents are free to borrow the books.
Great idea!
