My new favorite thing in the world: Birdhouses for books

May 3

Posted by

Via the Thursday, May 4, 2012 Quad-City Times:

A number of the tiny wooden structures, filled with row after row of donated books, will soon pop up all over Eldridge. The friends group is seeking donations of the homemade structures until June 1, and then they’ll display them at the library and let the community pick the best one, before hanging them throughout the community.

The contest will make Eldridge the third Iowa location in the U.S. for book enthusiasts who want to stop and engage in the “take a book, leave a book” policy spread by the Little Free Library movement.

About Daniel P. Finney

A misanthrope, iconoclast and general grouch since the late 1980s, Daniel P. Finney has been a professional paragraph stacker since 1993. He reports. He writes. He blogs. He tweets. He beats deadlines. He amuses (himself, at least.) He informs. He adapts. He keeps moving forward. He eschews gatherings. The highlights of his week are Sunday chicken wings, new comics Wednesday and naps during televised sporting events. He does not wonder if there is a player to be named later in his life and spends most of his waking hours desperately trying to be left alone.
