“The Free Little Library” was never intended to actually provide books to those who need them, but to give affluent neighborhoods a homey, quirky, intellectual, benevolent aesthetic.
In Denver, the same neighborhoods that have them are the ones that vote to make it illegal for homeless people to exist, because they don’t like the idea of homeless people being near their homes.
This has been an issue in Denver for YEARS, and yet the same neighborhoods that vote for these bans have SO many Free Little Libraries.
THEY LIVE IS A DOCUMENTARY 👁️
I bet nazis had something similar, extremely soy attempt at resolving the contradictions of class society. Literary Karens are just as disgusting as any illiterate fascists!!!
Yeah did the same bought a few communist manifesto online for like 2$ and would place them once every 2 weeks but gave up after a notice was on it saying they wanted to know who was doing it
I didnt remove books though they were mostly just self help and kids books. Although I do wonder if there were like childfriendly or otherwise inconspicuous pro-com/soc books, if they wouldn't draw ire
Click Clack Moo is a picture book about unionizing, and it looks incredibly inconspicuous
Hm might buy a few to leave around town dont have the disposable income right now for a dozen. But definitely ned to get around to this! Thanks
Edit: This was on the similar too section but maybe too obvious. Of course I haven't read it so it could be lib af

Edit: It was Dinotopia but the books are little too expensive for me to go out placing them everywhere unfortunately
