Little Free Libraries - free books, free information, free community building

I saw a picture a little while back of a bird house-looking construction filled with books. There was no caption or explanation to it, and I always wondered where such an idea came from.

Little Free Library is an organization that promotes literacy and community by providing a free outlet for the exchange of books right within your neighborhood.

You can collectively pay for one of these little libraries or donate one yourself. What a wonderful idea! Who wouldn't want an outlet to not only give old books new homes, but to find new books yourself and discuss among your neighbors? It screams for a book club component!
