Little Free Library Boxes

Little Free Library boxes in my neighborhood run on an honor system that somehow keeps working even though nobody enforces it. Each one is a small wooden cabinet on a post, usually in someone's front yard, with a glass door and maybe 15-20 books inside. Take one, leave one. Selection rotates constantly because different people pass by at different times. Last week I picked up a Haruki Murakami novel and left a beat-up paperback I'd finished. Clever idea because it turns every block into a point of exchange without any app or membership or fee. Craftsmanship varies wildly, and some are genuinely beautiful little structures people clearly spent time building.
