little free library

wouldn't it be so neat to go on a walk through your neighborhood and come back with a few books to read!? 

Little Free Library originated two years ago as one man's homage to his book-loving teacher mom, and since then hundreds have cropped up worldwide. 

the principle of the book swap is nothing new, but revitalizing an interest in books, increasing access to reading materials and planting these in neighborhoods everywhere is what makes this project so special.

Little Free Library uses recycled materials; libraries have been made using barn wood and old cranberry crates. in New Orleans several libraries have been constructed using Katrina debris.

i think this is such a neat idea, hmm wonder if we will ever see one pop up in louisville? i looked on the little free library map and the closet one is in New Albany, IN.

(grandma there are a few in overland park, kansas :^) )
