Little Free Libraries

When we were out in Silicon Valley, doing my little scavenger hunt of technology's historic sites, almost right across the street from the HP garage there was a little free library. I'm kicking myself for not taking photos of the few I saw, as they were just downright darling. Not to mention, they are a great little neighborhood discovery, and also a sweet treat to inspire reading... AND recycling.

Little did I know, though, that these are bigger than the little guys lead you to think. Yes, I've seen them before in a different places, but I didn't know they were "a thing." As in, an Internet sensation kind of thing. According to their website, they have over 75,000 Little Libraries registered in over 88 countries. That's a total thing!! And it's making me want one for our neighborhood!
