In spite of problems with theft, the Little Free Libraries continue to thrive around Shoreline. These are small boxes, usually on a post or pedestal, with a glass door. People put books in them to share with neighbors and passersby. Some include a notebook so users can make comments. Many books are read and returned, over and over, with comments from readers inside the cover.

The libraries are usually registered on a national website. Here's a world map of LFL - you have to enter the zip code or city to see the locations.
