25 0 ReplyThat is a big problem with Little Free Libraries- they get filled with religious junk. OP, please do your best to weed the books regularly.
12 0 ReplyYeah, not big on propaganda, I expect to see lots of Watchtowers, Books of Mormon, etc. Will be checking daily.

Snowcrash is awesome, your free library doesn’t mail books does it ? 😂
21 0 ReplyI keep hearing that but I couldn't get through it! It just didn't hold my attention.
12 0 ReplyThat’s how I feel about Neuromancer and most other cyberpunk books.

7 0 ReplyI found Snow Crash the easiest of his to get through. Love the Deliverator and Uncle Enzo. Would love a film version with Jason Momoa as Raven.

Maus, HHGTTG, Snowcrash. You've got a great selection there, fellow sci-fi fan! Hopefully others who borrow appreciate it as well.
16 0 ReplyThat's what I was think. Usually 90% of the books are, shall we say, there for a reason. But OP has seeded this library with some high quality material. Hopefully it stays that way!

7 0 ReplyPutting Maus, They Called us Enemy and Nat Turner may be too much in the initial batch, but we're on a school route and that's the sort of stuff they won't get in school. :)

I have a copy of Maus II that Art Spiegelman signed and also drew a picture in because he messed up my name and felt bad. Nice guy.

Wait does yours have multiple cubbies?
3 0 ReplyNope, just the one. Non-Fiction on the right, fiction on the left.
I separated them for the photos so you could see all the books.

12 0 ReplyI love the addition of Snow Crash. I never see SF books in free libraries.
Edit: And Charles De Lint! You never see him these days. Kick ass free library, OP
11 0 ReplyFun fact: Circle of Cats and Cats of Tanglewood Forest are the same story. One is a kids picture book, the other a chapter book.

Is that your home address on the little sign? If so, you may want to crop that out of your photos.
Awesome Little Free Library though. We have several in our neighborhood and I really appreciate the community service.

I wish I had property with which to do this. During the pan, I would take long walks to neighborhoods surrounding me while listening to podcasts. I always noted where these appeared. I hope you have success spreading the joy of reading.

I love little libraries! I stop and browse every time I walk past one in my city.
4 0 ReplyI’m just here to say I love projects like these. Maybe I’ll be inspired to actually follow through and make one myself someday.
Recently started taking my toddler to the library and, despite being an avid reader, I’d forgotten how wondrous an experience it is.

Both non-fiction.

Maus - Art Spiegelman - Pulitzer Prize winner

Both excellent choices!
