I'm a big fan and user of my local Big Free Library™. I see these Little Free Libraries all over the place in affluent neighbourhoods and they baffle me. If you want to promote literacy your effort is better spent helping the existing library system, which is better in pretty much every way.

- therealcamino 5y agoThe fact that it has "library" in the name doesn't mean it's meant to be a replacement for a public library. It's just a book swap with weather protection for the books. It doesn't detract from or compete with public libraries. People just like swapping books.
