Sue and I love checking out Little Free Libraries when we are camping or out riding our bikes. We decided to build one. We checked with a local church that has a pavilion and clothes donation box to see if we could put it in their parking lot. They also allow Harvest Host Campers, so we thought that would be a good fit. The village its an old Erie Canal Town and they have a lot of Greek Revival Architecture. We designed our Library to look consistent.
It was a fun project and we filled it with books that we have read for our two book clubs. We registered it with littlefreelibrary.org so that people can locate it on their mapping app.
Here are things we used:
* Kreg Pocket hole jig ( amzn.to/45aEEou )
* Kreg Circular Saw Track ( amzn.to/3Qh724l )
* Kreg screws ( amzn.to/455mbtC )
* RYOBI Jigsaw ( amzn.to/3OMJuTT )
* RYOBI circular saw ( amzn.to/4455xJT )
* RYOBI Impact driver and drill ( amzn.to/3q4L89P )
* Forstner Bit Set ( amzn.to/3KnJsz7 )
* 7 1/4" 60 tooth circular saw blade ( amzn.to/3rRzf7E )
* 4'x8' T-11 Bead Paneling ( homedepot.com/p/Ply-Bead-Plywood-Siding-Plybead-Panel-Nominal-11-32-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Actual-0-313-in-x-48-in-x-96-in-538281/100080170 )
* 2"x3" studs ( homedepot.com/p/2-in-x-3-in-x-96-in-Select-Whitewood-Stud-845000/100038668 )
* 3/4" 4'x8' Birch Plywood ( homedepot.com/p/Columbia-Forest-Products-3-4-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-PureBond-Birch-Plywood-165921/100077837 )

* cabinet door handles ( acehardware.com/departments/hardware/window-and-screen-hardware/window-handles/5368139 )
* soft close hinges ( homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-35-mm-110-Degree-Full-Overlay-Soft-Close-Cabinet-Hinge-1-Pair-2-Pieces-H32636E-NP-CP/302857903 )
