Get a Book, Give a Book. Need a Book, Take a Book

Sharing books with friends and family is common practice, but what about
sharing them with neighbours and passers-by?

This is the concept behind Little
Free Library, a project founded in Wisconsin to encourage reading as
libraries were closing down. Build a little wood hut (they sell kits or
give you instructions on how to make your own), place it in your front
yard, and fill it with books (the huts usually fit 20.) Then, allow
anyone and everyone to borrow! So far Vancouver is home to one on East
26th, but look out for more as the idea gains momentum.

And we think it might be a good idea to stick a bookmark in every book.
That way, there’s no excuse to return the books dog-eared. Alexandra
