Fun tangential anecdote: In the Bahamas many of the island marinas will have a cardboard box tucked away somewhere full of books referred to as the "Cruiser's Library". People sailing from island to island use them in the same way as these Little Free Libraries and have been for decades. Once I was exploring an uninhabited island somewhere in the Abacos island chain. The only thing on this island was the ruins of an old resort that has been destroyed by a hurricane 10 years earlier. In the middle of the largest ruined building where the remains of the roof still kept off most of the damp I found a table with a pile of these books, the local Cruiser's Library.
