The Little Free Library<\/a> movement\u00a0started in\u00a02009, when\u00a0Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin, built a model of a one room schoolhouse and filled it with books. You can read more of this history here<\/a>. You can also find a map of all the “registered” Little Libraries; plans to build one; ready mades; et al. While cycling, and\/or driving, I notice these libraries; and recently have stopped to photograph them. This of course feels more convenient when cycling.
