Our neighbor across the street, a kindly 60-something cat lady with solar panels on her roof, has a mini library in her front yard. The idea is to bring a book to add to the library, and then take a book you want to read.
We have visited this library twice since we moved in. The book selection so far is marginal (Lucy chose a series of books the first time that we soon learned were about spoiled teenage girls aspiring to be fashion models — as if I'm going to indoctrinate my firstborn with such literary twinkies).
But the idea is to promote literacy for children and adults, and I certainly respect that.
You can start your own library by visiting littlefreelibrary.org.
