Little Free Library
Jun. 17th, 2021 09:01 pmOne of the projects I've been contemplating for a while that got rolled into The Grand Landscaping Project was setting up a Little Free Library in the angle between the driveaway and sidewalk. My contractor got all excited about making the library box as a miniature house in the style of my own house. Since I didn't have any specific vision for the object, I let him follow his inspiration. It's the one detail that has been completed since he resurfaced from ... well, things happened that weren't his fault and explain why he disappeared for about a month. So last weekend I put up a temporary "Little Free Library" inscription (I need to go over it in paint, but the words are there in Sharpie) and installed 8 books of diverse genres.
Since then, two books have found homes and one book has been left by a donor. Signs of life! My secret hope is that I'll discover a deep well of SFF readers that I can start feeding my stash to, but in the mean time I'm aiming for a mix of fiction and non-fiction, and at least one item aimed at younger readers.
