FWIW "Little Free Library" is a trademark and its owners have been aggressive in its defense. I don't know what folks should use as a generic name.

- Beldin 4y agoBuurtbieb - in English, roughly pronounced as b-eew-rt-beep. It's a literal translation of "neighbourhood library", it alliterates, and it sounds cute. (Keep the "beep" part short for that).
- hedora 4y agoJust keep using it as a generic name. They've already lost the generification war. Are they seriously going to track down and sue neighborhood libraries? Good luck getting a jury to enforce the trademark.
- bee_rider 4y agoIt seems bizarre to me that someone could trademark such a straightforwardly descriptive name.
