8circles Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 A few months ago I heard about a program that someone in my hometown was participating in. (I don't know who told me or who was participating.) It sounded so cool - there was some kind of box that participants had outside their front door full of books and you could take one or leave one... or something like that. What could this be? I've googled all kinds of words but can't come up with anything. Does anyone know? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Try googling "take a book leave a book." Brought up a few hits for me, though I don't know if any of them are the specific one you're looking for. ETA: Is this it? http://volumeone.org/articles/2011/09/13/2643_Take_a_Book_Leave_a_Book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostSurprise Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Little Free Library? (Kind of like a large birdhouse on a waist-high pole, with a door that opens and people can take a book or leave a book.) Five have been erected in our area so I've 'adopted' a few since I'm decluttering books this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have to do this. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaBoo Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I use Bookmooch sometimes. It's free and great if you can find the book you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
