They’re found in more than 30 countries, and we have them too. Little Free Libraries are decorative wooden boxes about the size of a large birdcage mounted on poles, filled with books free for borrowing, open 24/7.

There’s a website, complete with plans for building a Little Library of your own – http://www.littlefreelibrary.org
