Overview
Around the world, a community movement is underway featuring quaint landscape structures mounted on posts in front yards and other green spaces. Some are built for personal use, as miniature sheds for gardeners, or as decorative accent pieces. More commonly, though, they are evidence of the growing trend toward neighborhood organization and community outreach.
This movement has been popularized by Wisconsin-based Little Free Library (LFL), whose members currently include 75,000 stewards seeking to build community togetherness and promote reading at the same time by sharing books among neighbors. LFL has inspired builders to use similar structures to share things like CDs, food, garden tools, and seeds in the community.
Produced in cooperation with Little Free Library and authored by professional carpenter Phil Schmidt, Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds is the builder’s complete source of inspiration and how-to knowledge. This information-packed guide features:
- A guide to planning and designing your little sharing structure
- An overview of building materials and tools
- 12 complete plans for structures of varying sizes and aesthetics
- Step-by-step color photography and instructions
- A gallery of tiny structures for further inspiration
- Information on proper installation of small structures
- Common repairs and maintenance for down the road
Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds even includes information on how to become a steward, getting the word out about your little structure once it’s up and running, and tips for building a lively collection.
Community togetherness has never been so at the fore of our consciousness—or so important. Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds is one tool on the road to helping you build community in your neighborhood.
