“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!!!
The ones in the town I used to live in would periodically get filled with reactionary literature about ((“crony capitalism” and the evil democrats))
So I’d just make rounds pulling them out and throwing those books in the dumpster. This went on long enough that there started to be complaints about people vandalizing the little libraries and now most of them are gone.
Another behavior I’ve never admitted before, but there it is.
Yeah did the same bought a few communist manifesto online for like 2$ and would place them once every 2 weeks but gave up after a notice was on it saying they wanted to know who was doing it
I didnt remove books though they were mostly just self help and kids books. Although I do wonder if there were like childfriendly or otherwise inconspicuous pro-com/soc books, if they wouldn’t draw ire
Click Clack Moo is a picture book about unionizing, and it looks incredibly inconspicuous
self-help
Teach them how to conquer that bread :kropotkin-shining:
And apparently those dinosaur books from yesterday are accidentally(?) turning kids communist
