New World Order

I came upon this odd construction on a walk not too long ago and was puzzled that it just popped up in what amounts to the middle of nowhere....a location in which no more than 12 families might even see it on the side of a little traveled road. What immediately came to mind were reminiscences of musty and mysterious old stacks in the college library which was the centerpiece of my college campus and my four years of learning. Surely it is no longer such today. The internet has, of course, devastated the traditional libraries of the world, something I find both horrifying and sad for a wide variety of reasons.

 

Thus, this discovery created a small sense of hope and optimism, and a quick check (ironically via that very same internet) showed that apparently it is more than a passing movement with over 50,000 locations in all 50 US states and over 70 countries worldwide.

 

Fascinating....as are the details, available at littlefreelibrary.org/faqs/
