				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While traveling last week, we ran across a &#8220;<a href="http://www.littlefreelibrary.org/index.html">Little Free Library”</a>  I had never seen or heard of them before.  Basically, any person or group can buy or build a box and make books available to others.  There are over 2000 of these around the world.  I was surprised to see one in the Cleveland area.  I’ll have to go visit it.</p>
<p>The mission of the libraries is to promote literacy.  We are very lucky in this area to have a great library system.  Not all areas in the world have these services available.</p>
<p>I think this would be a great project for a preschool or church group.  The possibilities are endless.</p>
<p>Here’s what the box we saw looked like.  It was near a few shops and a parking lot in Michigan.</p>
<p><a href="http://lifelynstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_4708.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="IMG_4708" src="http://lifelynstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_4708_thumb.jpg" alt="IMG_4708" width="604" height="804" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>When you register a box, you get an official sign and number.</p>
<p><a href="http://lifelynstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_4709.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0px;" title="IMG_4709" src="http://lifelynstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_4709_thumb.jpg" alt="IMG_4709" width="604" height="454" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>I’ve just started reading about the organization, but I really like the concept.  I’m not sure my construction skills are up to the test.  I’m reminded of some not so square boxes that I built for an 8th grade science fair.  Maybe Nick will be better at making containers with Stephen.</p>
