    This is actually a great idea. I have a ton of books I've already read, but... how so I get my neighbors to find out about it? The suburbs are real frigid and not a great place to socialize. As a matter of fact, I moved here a month ago and only yesterday did I find out my neighbor's a chick, and I didn't even talk to her, I just saw her from far off.

      Bake a cake, walk up to her house, ring the doorbell, give her the cake and say: "Hi. I'm your new neighbour". Cake always breaks the ice. :)

      I just discovered a Little Free Library around the corner from where I live. It's placed a few feet back from the sidewalk in a house similar to the one in the picture. If you put it in a visible spot, your neighbors will eventually find it, and hopefully spread the word. There's always going to be joggers and walkers, no matter how much your suburbs lack a community. Or you could place an add in the newspaper advertising it, or on craigslist, or if your town has a community forum, mention it there.
