Beautifully written! Love this: "Perhaps some of them even found permanent homes. Perhaps some of them never would. It feels freeing not to be troubled either way."
"Dada levels of obtuse" and "community art project" are indeed such accurate ways to describe the experience of a Little Free Library. The contents of Little Free Libraries in south Minneapolis have given me so much joy in their variety, as you wonderfully describe! Also, friend, if your move has not already happened and is in the Twin Cities, I am happy to lend effort toward getting your fam and possessions from point A to point B.
Years ago I rented a house and its previous tenants had built a little library in the yard. I painted it and loved peeking out my window to catch people glimpsing at the books in there. I liked to think I was providing good books
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reflections here. This one really had me thinking deeper about my own sense of place (and also wanting to find some little free libraries!).

Ah friend this is such a sweet offer! I'm going to send you a text! (And wow yes those are some stellar LFLs!)

If you come across any in need of stocking at your new place, let me know!
