Being gifted a Little Free Library for my birthday...

I’m being gifted a “Little Free Library” for my birthday and I’m super excited to get started.

This is the one on the way:

shop.littlefreelibrary.org/…/composite-double-doo…

While they’re good at listing the EXTERNAL dimensions, they don’t really cite the INTERNAL dimensions.

Any idea? I’ve never had to shop for books by size before. LOL.

I’ve got MORE than a few ideas after working in an actual library and bookstores for years and years, but I’m interested to know…

If size were no object, what books would YOU give away for free? 🤔

BonesOfTheMoon,

Happy birthday! What a wonderful gift.

jordanlund,

Nothing says “birthday” like a part time job! LOL. Seriously though, looking forward to managing it.

BonesOfTheMoon,

If I were going to give away a book for free, it’s Outside The Dog Museum by Jonathan Carroll, fwiw.

jordanlund,

I’ll take a look at it! Thanks!

Congrats on the neat gift! Only thing I saw on the site was "fits books up to 15" tall". I'd assume the sides are around 1/2" thick and the over hang of the roof is around 1.5" - 2" on each side. The bottom is probably 1/2" thick also so subtract that from the outside dimensions given on the website and you should have a rough idea of what the inside is unless they have some additional support inside that we can't see from the pics on the website.

I have been wanting to put one up for quite a long time but live in an area where I'm afraid it would become a drug stash or an invitation for trouble. I still might do it someday because I think it could help someone and that would outweigh the downsides. I hope yours gets a lot of use!

jordanlund,

Height is one issue, but so is depth, and since the roof is slanted, that’s going to complicate it. :(

I guess I’ll figure it out when it gets here!
