All over America, people have put small "give one, take one" book exchanges in front of their homes. Then they were told to tear them down.

Three years ago, The Los Angeles Times published a feel-good story on the Little Free Library movement. The idea is simple: A book lover puts a box or shelf or crate of books in their front yard. Neighbors browse, take one, and return later with a replacement

Quote:
Last summer in Kansas, a 9-year-old was loving his Little Free Library until at least two residents proved that some people will complain about anything no matter how harmless and city officials pushed the boundaries of literal-mindedness:

The Leawood City Council said it had received a couple of complaints about Spencer Collins' Little Free Library. They dubbed it an "illegal detached structure" and told the Collins' they would face a fine if they did not remove the Little Free Library from their yard by June 19.


Reminds me of Jersey City residents and recent topics about strict adherence to zoning, and this poor guy as he tries to navigate the process: http://jclist.com/modules/newbb/viewt ... c_id=34690&post_id=384665
