We live in a world that has been converted into a small village, thanks to modernization. Even with the digitization of most knowledge sources, there is still an allure that could only be found in books. The sheer satisfaction that comes with engrossing yourself in literary fiction and read deep as opposed to the temptation to skim through pages. Unfortunately, this great skill is slowly fading in a world of perpetual hunger for digitization.

However, a Nonprofit Organization Little Free Library is working round the clock to help ensure our love for books doesn’t become a distant memory. Their motive, “inspiring a love of reading, building community, and sparking creativity by fostering neighborhood book exchanges around the world.” Their little libraries are popping everywhere and so far 75,000 libraries have sprung up in 88 countries.

These libraries have been made with a touch of art and so far the coolest one was made by a family in Couer d’Alene, Idaho. Sharalee Armitage Howard was the brains behind the little project. The former bookbinder, librarian, and artist thought of converting a 100-year-old cottonwood tree stump into ‘little tree library’ instead of being dug up and destroyed. The stump was carved on the inside, covered with a roof and some lighting installed to make it look cozy. Topped up with some amazing books, this little project qualified as a library in fairytale land.
