Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization that encourages reading, builds community and sparks creativity by promoting neighborhood book exchanges around the world. You may have seen a tiny house-like structure on public places with front doors that welcome passersby to take or share a free book. With over 75k libraries existed in 88 countries, the program has inspired many to create their customized libraries.
A family in Idaho took their Library design to a new level, creating a “Little Tree Library” in a 100-year-old cottonwood tree stump. Sharalee Armitage Howard, the owner of the cute structure, works as a librarian according to her Facebook profile. She was the one who spearheaded the project, including the design of the mini library. It features steps and lights and has miniature books attached as dentils just above the door. The project is located at Howard’s front lawn near Midtown Coeur d’Alene.
The artist had created a little free library before and was inspired to produce another one inside the tree’s stump.
