I want to build one of these in my yard.

A few have popped up in my hood recently and I'm kind of obsessed.

That is awesome! I think you should do it.

This is cool. I imagine ours would wind up full of flyers for pizza places, which would be unfortunate.

Liver&Onions

That's super cute! I have a nook, so it wouldn't do me much good, but I would love to donate some books to one that I don't need anymore!

AppleBear

OMG I super love that!  

sweetday

This is very cool. 

There arent any in NJ  

I might try this.

Do it! I'll put some books in there for you. There's one right down the street from Charlie's preschool and it's adorable (and there are always books in it!)

This is the best idea!

Sadly, in my neighborhood, the next morning it would be empty of books and there would be a half-drunken bottle of beer, a syringe, someone's baggie of dog poo and probably someone's urine in there.

And that's just Tuesday!

I need to see what kind of scrap wood I have available in the garage. I have an old jail detention bench I could probably dismantle (don't ask). "Take a book, leave a book, handcuff your kids here."

Em - there's one around the corner from your friend that I have yet to meet. Brunch? Soon?

Someone in our neighborhood just put up one of these. I wondered what it was. Now I know! Cute idea!

OMG I love this idea!  Perhaps we should make one. We live in a neighborhood with people walking around all the time (dog walkers, kids, people walkers).

That's really cute. We live in an apartment complex now, but I sent my mom the link so she can do it at their new house.

I wonder if this would get used in my neighborhood or if people would go LTP style on it.

I will ask my roommate if he will build it.

I love this idea. LOVE.

And here I thought you were going to say this.  I guess it's not too late for you to do both.

LOL or as a coupon exchange place!

You do it and I'll send you books, unfortunately our area has next to no one living in it and half of the ones that do live here can't read.  I have an issue getting rid of books even though I know I'll never ever read them again.

this is really cool.

and so is the slide wbl posted.

I see that and think "Awesome. A litter box as big as my yard." Ew.
