Little Free Libraries, Good for the Neighborhood?

From Salon, a tale of the down-side of Little Free Libraries.

Dan Greenstone writes: “The lesson was clear. I wasn’t running a library. Libraries are built around the idea of circulation. And circulation implies a circle. What I had, aside from the contributions of a few kind neighbors on my block, was a one-way street of literary handouts. So it wasn’t long before I concluded that if I was going to stay in business, I had to reduce the outgoing volume.”
