第 40 至 43 題為題組Todd Bol, a retired businessman, could never have expected that a wooden container he built on hisdeck one day in 2009 would have the global impact it does today.Bol built a dollhouse-size structure that looked like a schoolhouse on a post, and he put it on his lawnas a free community library to commemorate his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. Bol’sprototype gave birth to Little Free Library (LFL), a nonprofit organization that seeks to place small,accessible book exchange boxes in neighborhoods around the world. The concept is simple: Neighbors areinvited to share a book, leave a book, or both. Today, there are over 50,000 of these libraries registered in70 countries.Almost everyone can register with LFL and start a library as long as the person keeps it in good shapeand makes sure that book materials are appropriate for his/her neighborhood. Library owners can createtheir own library boxes; therefore, the libraries are usually unique in appearance, and there seems to be nolimit to the possibilities. One library in California was built out of a used wine crate; another in Texas hadtiny stairs and bright colored walls. Once registered, libraries are assigned a number at LFL’s website. TheLFL Index lists the locations of all libraries with GPS coordinates and other information. Owners receive asign that reads “Little Free Library.”People say they have been more inclined to pick up a book when walking by a Little Free Library, outof curiosity and because it’s convenient. Some sidewalk librarians say they have met more neighbors sincehaving a little library in their front yard. Bol is also most proud of the way Little Free Library is bringingcommunities together. “It’s started a neighborhood exchange. It gets people talking and more comfortablewith their neighbors,” he says. “This leads to them helping each other.”
