The Little Bookshop

Taking a walk today down a local no-exit street, I found this at the very end! These Lilliput Libraries are so cool, I think! I looked at the books within and they are all with authors I know and in great condition! The little timber case is well made and has an open door.
I don't know how it's going to change at the end of this street but maybe if people get to know about them, the books will be exchanged!
I wanted a book recently by an author and on 'kindle app' it was $14 US! Too much, so I looked at our local library, found it available but currently booked out. I just asked to be on the waiting list! How good is that!
A great story telling image and story.

Such a sweet little book library and such an ideal way to exchange(I assume!) books within the community without the unnecessary cost of purchasing a new copy !

I am taking pictures of the ones I find and getting a collection. I even made a scrapbook page with them and my mentor thought it was marvelous. We have a website I can use to find some of them.

I spend quite a lot of time adding to and taking from marina libraries and neighbourhood free libraries. So good.

I love “Little Libraries”. https://littlefreelibrary.org/ You should check them out. These libraries are in 121 countries. They tell you where they are located.

Cute photo and what a great idea. Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make things better for everyone. Glad you found you could rent the book from the library for free.

We have one of these in our little Pinfold. They just seem to pop up! I order books from our mobile library too…..they used to charge but no charge from the van. I have one on order now.

@kali66 I just realised what that yellow notice meant, Kali! The electric fence appeared to be on the inside of the field and odd, because there are no animals in it. Haven't been for years!

@happypat Our libraries have also got more giving - no fines but the newly published books are $2 which is really peanuts!

@grammyn Reading seems to be considered a good thing to do nowadays! I once thought everybody read! Now we hear of children going through school and still not able to read!

These are such a great idea!

They are such a great idea- and a nice way to spread some good around! I haven't found one in my area- but we do have a couple nice libraries in our county.

There for a while these were popping up all over the place, but lately they seem to have died out, at least in our area
