Who's cool enough to have one of these in their yard? You scholar you.

I believe those are just the equivalent of scarecrows to keep people who can't read away from the well-off neighborhoods.

I aspire to have one of these one day.

I like to go to the public library and unplug the homeless people’s cell phones while they sleep

There are two in my area that I have used. I see them as a throwback to a better, more simple, more neighborly era. It's not just about the books, it's about the sense of connection.

We have on in our neighborhood green/common area. The kids like to ride their bikes or walk the dog to the "library" and get a book.

Better check them, I heard the trannies and letter people are loading them up with scum books.

Great idea for the community. I know the mouth breather "baws" don't read, but it's nice to switch out with the neighborhood.

We used to stop at one in our old neighborhood every Sunday on our walks. They had a decent kid book selection and our son enjoyed picking out a book from home to exchange when he grabbed a new one. Like a poster above me said, it kept him busy on our walks, which was nice.

I'm always scared there's going to be a giant wasp nest hidden in the corner.

Girlfriend and I go on evening walk regularly. We usually check them out and grab/leave stuff occasionally

I haven’t taken books but I’ve put some in. I pretty exclusively read on my Kindle these days.

We have them all over in Portland, mate. I'm going to start putting some TRUMP bumper stickers in them when I pass by

We have them all over our neighborhood, it's one of the only things you dont have to worry about the locals stealing
