<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Background information, twelve plans, instructions with photo sequences, and an inspirational image gallery get readers on the road to building tiny sharing structures for their communities and neighborhoods"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Expand the sharing movement to your community with </b><i><b>Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds</b></i><b>--your complete source for building tiny sharing structures, including plans for 12 different structures, step-by-step photography and instructions, inspirational examples, and maintenance.</b> <p/> Around the world, a community movement is underway featuring <b>quaint landscape structures mounted on posts</b> in front yards and other green spaces. Some are built for personal use, as miniature sheds for gardeners or as decorative accent pieces. More commonly, though, they are evidence of the growing trend toward neighborhood organization and community outreach. <p/> This movement has been popularized by Wisconsin-based Little Free Library (LFL), whose members currently include 75,000 stewards seeking to <b>build community togetherness </b>and promote reading at the same time by sharing books among neighbors. LFL has inspired builders to use similar structures to share things like CDs, food, garden tools, and seeds in the community. <p/> Produced in cooperation with Little Free Library, <i>Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds </i>is the builder's complete source of inspiration and how-to knowledge. Illustrated throughout with colorful <b>step-by-step photography </b>and a <b>gallery of tiny structures</b> for further inspiration, <i>Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds</i> covers every step: <b>planning and design</b>, <b>tools and building techniques</b>, <b>best materials</b>, and <b>12 complete plans for structures</b> of varying size and aesthetics. In addition, author and professional carpenter Phil Schmidt includes information on proper installation of small structures and common repairs and maintenance for down the road. <p/><i>Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds </i>even includes information on <b>how to become a steward</b>, getting the word out about your little structure once it's up and running, and <b>tips for building a lively collection</b>. <p/> Community togetherness has never been so at the fore of our consciousness--or so important. <i>Little Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds </i>is one tool on the road to helping you build community in your neighborhood.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This book will make you want to grab a hammer and get to work."--<i><b>St. Paul Pioneer Press</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Philip Schmidt is an avid environmentalist and a home improvement expert who has written many successful DIY books, including Build Your Kids a Treehouse, The Complete Guide to Patios, and The Complete Guide to Contemporary Sheds.
