No late fees, no card required; Toronto's network of Little Free Libraries is part of a worldwide movement to get books out into circulation. Homeowners are installing small weather-safe boxes on their property, filling them with books, and then letting word-of-mouth do the rest. The project's initial focus was on children's books, but over time its scope has widened to include stuff for all ages. People are free to take a book, return it when they're done, and leave books of their own to add to the collection. And just like the Toronto Public Library, borrowed books can be returned to any "branch;" you can pick up a book in the Beaches and, when you're done, drop it off in the Junction.
