Library open for business

After several weeks of deconstructing and reinventing an old metal newspaper box, the Little Free Library is fully stocked and open for business.

A view from the sidewalk

Below we see the canvas circus sign, complete with staples and grommets and springs to keep it stretched. Actually, it’s something called marine vinyl from Jo-Ann’s—and it’s pretty costly at about $18 per yard. But like everyone else in the world, I had a 40%-off coupon.

That is SO cool. Wish I could get the books that are rejects from my abebooks/amazon online selling venture to you. I'm sure there is a real calling in Atlanta for such titles as: Beating the French Defense with the Advance Variation, or, The Use of Humor in Psychotherapy, or, The Chicken Health Handbook, just to mention a few choice literary gems.
