I didn't feel like switching out my lens, so I'll get a better shot of this later, but I arranged my books by color a little while back. Believe it or not, things are easier for me to find this way. I can recall what a book looks like faster than I can remember the author usually.

Little Free Library is a nonprofit community movement in the United States and worldwide that offers free books housed in small containers to members of the local community. It was founded in Hudson, Wisconsin. The idea was conceived by Todd Bol as a tribute to his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. He mounted a wooden container designed to look like a school house on a post on his lawn. Bol shared his idea with his partner Rick Brooks who found many efficient ways to spread the word, and the idea spread rapidly. Library owners can create their own library box, usually about the size of a doll house, or purchase one from the website. Libraries may be registered and assigned a number at the organization's website. Libraries can be found through their GPS coordinates. Owners receive a sign that reads "Little Free Library". They often have the phrase, "Take a Book. Leave a Book.
In Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, the village is requiring a church to take down their Little Free Library, worrying about inappropriate material being placed and saying that there was no point in a Little Free Library due to the public library. Whitefish Bay is, in addition, denying permission to any family that asks to have a Little Free Library placed in their front yard.
Libraries have been donated to rural areas that have no libraries of their own, or that have been ravaged by disasters. As of 7 March 2012 34 States and 17 countries have been involved. There are currently over 200 Little Free Libraries in the world.
Each Library is uniquely built incorporating materials from the community it is located in. (WIKIPEDIA)
