These building plans for mini-structures that let communities share books, music, seeds, and more “will make you want to grab a hammer and get to work” (St. Paul Pioneer Press).

It started with one simple box attached to a post and filled with books. Now, around the world, millions of books have been shared in countless communities—as well as CDs, garden tools, food for those who need it, and more. This guide lets you join and expand on this growing movement with plans for twelve different structures that you can build—whether for personal use or as a neighborhood resource.

Produced in cooperation with the Wisconsin-based nonprofit Little Free Library (LFL), this is the builder’s complete source of inspiration and how-to knowledge. Illustrated throughout with colorful step-by-step photography and a gallery of tiny structures for further inspiration, Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds covers every step: planning and design, tools and building techniques, best materials, and twelve complete plans for structures of varying size and aesthetics. In addition, professional carpenter Phil Schmidt includes information on proper installation of small structures and common repairs and maintenance for down the road. You’ll also find tips for getting the word out about your little structure once it’s up and running, and building a lively collection.

Community togetherness has never been so important. Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds is one tool to help you build community in your neighborhood.
