"Little Free Libraries (LFLs) began in 2009 when Hudson, Wisconsin
resident Todd Bol constructed one as a tribute to his later mother, a
schoolteacher who loved books. They are, exactly as their name implies,
small structures stocked with books that visitors are free to peruse or
take. They can also donate their own books to the collection. By
November of 2016, there were over 50,000 such libraries in over 70
countries, including at least one in every U.S. state."

Even the littlest libraries need curation.
