Benjamin Franklin may have said:
"Any nation that do not protect the child who loveth books and seeketh to make his own library, is a nation sorely in need of the attention of children to it."

[...]
Little Free Libraries are a little like a dollhouse full of books: they sit on a pole or wall or fence, have two or three shelves and may include a protective glass door. An encouraging sign is posted -- "Take a book, return a book" -- prompting people who walk past to take a look and grab something to read.
There are more than 10,000 Little Free Libraries set up around the world. Kits can be ordered online; Spencer Collins got one as a gift from his grandfather.
The Leawood
City Council said it had received a couple of complaints about Spencer Collins' Little Free Library. They dubbed it an "illegal detached structure" and told the Collins' they would face a fine if they did not remove the Little Free Library from their yard by June 19.
Is there one city council in this land, who loveth books and supporteth the child who loveth books?
One things for sure: You don't need to be able to read or think, to vote.
And yet voters cannot trump readers, except by bullets when the intellectuals get purged, hehe, well not in my country but in all other countries up to now, book readers are the first to die. Sad but true.
Anyway, this post is not about tech, it's just something I felt the spirit of Ben Franklin wishes to shame. He hates city councils that hate book loving children, I bet.
