Detroit aims to become Little Free Library capital of the world

Over 100 free little libraries have been spotted on Detroit streets, and the goal of getting 313 libraries circulating on Detroit streets is catching the eye of authors as far away as Alaska.
 
Excerpt:

"I write my books from a little house on an Alaska mountainside that’s 3000 miles from Detroit. My closest Little Free Library is another three miles up the mountain, along a winding road with views of Cook Inlet and, on clear days, a big beautiful mountain, which we Alaskans call Denali.

Distance and differences aside, I’m rooting for Detroit’s Little Free Library Challenge. Kim Kozlowski’s IndieGoGo project is all about the things we Alaskans believe in: community, resilience, and self-reliance, empowered by a deep and transcending appreciation—call it love—for the spaces around us."
