Visit the Little Free Libraries of Somerville

A Little Free Library is a neighborhood box of books, where anyone can take a book or leave a book for others to read. Somerville has three that I know of:

The Book House at 44 Kidder Avenue, built by Todd Kaplan and Rivkah Lapidus

The Little Library of Ball Square, housed in a converted phone booth in front of True Grounds, 717 Broadway. Akil Williams and James Fox built this for the Friends of the Somerville Public Library, as part of the Somerville Arts Council's and Nave Gallery's Phone Art Box project.

The Little Library of 22 Willoughby Street, built by several neighbors on that street.

Sometimes you can even get a surprise. I found Season 1 & 2 of Mad Men on DVD.

Perhaps it's a good way to get rid of those DVDs of movies you are never going to watch again.

*makes a note* I can probably contribute some books...
