“The Free Little Library” was never intended to actually provide books to those who need them, but to give affluent neighborhoods a homey, quirky, intellectual, benevolent aesthetic.

In Denver, the same neighborhoods that have them are the ones that vote to make it illegal for homeless people to exist, because they don’t like the idea of homeless people being near their homes.

This has been an issue in Denver for YEARS, and yet the same neighborhoods that vote for these bans have SO many Free Little Libraries.

THEY LIVE IS A DOCUMENTARY 👁️

I bet nazis had something similar, extremely soy attempt at resolving the contradictions of class society. Literary Karens are just as disgusting as any illiterate fascists!!!

But I just wanna give out free books and see what interesting books people leave.

Apparently they cost like $300 in materials though.

You could probably get some scrap wood off Craigslist and put something together if you have the tools. If you invest in some paints to spruce it up it should look great idk

Mostly self help and detective novels are what I’ve found. I got some good stephen king once though.
