Some are built for personal use, as miniature sheds for gardeners or as decorative accent pieces. More commonly, though, they are evidence of the growing trend toward neighbourhood organisation and community outreach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis movement has been popularised by Wisconsin-based Little Free Library (LFL), whose members currently include 75,000 stewards seeking to build community togetherness and promote reading by sharing books among neighbours. LFL has inspired builders to use similar structures to share items like CDs, food, garden tools, and seeds within the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in cooperation with Little Free Library, \u003ci\u003eLittle Free Libraries and Tiny Sheds\u003c\/i\u003e is the builder's complete source of inspiration and how-to knowledge.
