Reading some of these comments you'd think they build little free libraries by dismantling actual libraries, I think some of you could stand to take it down a notch
I think it's just that people associate them with rich neighborhoods but that's still kinda dumb and immature, like how about worry about something that's actually bad instead of vaguely associated with some of the beneficiaries of a bad thing.
There was one in a neighborhood I used to live in in a small city/large town (over 10k, under 50k not sure what that's called technically) where, prior to the recent crazy housing price spike at least, you could get a house under 100k and there was a housing project within five blocks.
I'm not sure where the idea that they're only in rich areas comes from.
They can be but I don’t think that’s a very good critique. A lot of cycling culture also is but I don’t see people attacking bicycles because of cycling culture often acting like more expensive bikes are what makes a “real cyclist”
I think I read every Star Wars book yet printed when I was a kid lol. Even the one with the three-eyed son (grandson?) of the Emperor, and the three-eyed impostor

I absolutely don’t understand the hate for these little libraries. I seriously am not understanding the logic of people attacking them

I'm a vocal supporter of them but I will admit that they're aesthetically lib

Libs actually do some good things, hot take
Their problem lies, generally, in thinking their idea of good enough is the best things can possibly be, then attacking anyone who tries to do better.
I like seeing them but they're typically stocked with either low quality pulp fiction type stuff or things like war criminal biographies.
Often a combination of the two with things like Tom Clancy books.
I used to always see those old obsolete car repair manuals in them.
I wish I found those.
They usually have better writing than Any Rand.
I read a lot of garbage when I was younger (I still do, but I used to, too) and it is probably part of why I got good at reading
I was 10 and reading stephen king and star wars extended universe airport books. Not quite literature but I was reading. So I get it.

Only thing I've ever found in one that was worth taking, to me, was a copy of Flatland.
Yeah, it's the kind of books people are willing to give away for free.
