Little Free Libraries are, typically, small cabinets installed in neighborhoods, in places that allow public access, in which people can place books they want to loan out or can borrow books from. Unlike an ordinary library, there is no checking-out/checking-in process. People just take out a book they want to read and then put it back whenever they are done. The contents of the library are whatever neighbors decide to put in to it.  It's kind of fun that way.

There are several that have been established in San Luis Obispo, including:
