Little Free Library 2778 is Now Open

[neadods]

As of this afternoon, this...


...has been mounted outside, stocked, and listed with the LFL map.


Little Free Library #2778 is now open for business.


Because it took about 10 minutes of hammering to get the mount onto the post I haven't even bothered with screws. I'll probably put a couple in the next time we get news of a potential hurricane, but anything short of that or derecho should be okay.

My little idea is out in the world now. I hope the neighborhood embraces it and treats it well...


ETA: And we've had our first rain. And our first leaks. There's a wet corner of Dr. Strange & Mr. Norrell, but the rest of the books are untouched. The plexiglass edges will be hit with silicon and I'm going to put either a magnet or a proper latch on the door. In the meantime, I've put some unsexy but efficient plastic in to raise the books up from the wet shelving.

Good! The problem for me is I am on beachside and there's a lot of short-term rentals and tourists. We also get homeless wandering through.

That being said, the worst thing I've heard of was a garden gnome theft.

I think it just went walkabout.

They do that. Chip and neuter your gnomes, people.
