Being gifted a Little Free Library for my birthday! (littlefreelibrary.org)

I'm being gifted a "Little Free Library" for my birthday and I'm super excited to get started.

This is the one on the way:

While they're good at listing the EXTERNAL dimensions, they don't really cite the INTERNAL dimensions.

Any idea? I've never had to shop for books by size before. LOL.

I've got MORE than a few ideas after working in an actual library and bookstores for years and years, but I'm interested to know...

If size were no object, what books would YOU give away for free? 🤔

(cranky rant) Why doesn't anyone use "given" anymore? It's a perfectly good word.

I do love seeing the little free libraries when I'm walking around a neighborhood. I'm not sure that they're very practical, but I'm still glad to see them with their little selection of books for anyone to enjoy.

If it wasn't my birthday I would have said "given". :) Given something for an event is gifted.

I still think it's wrong. I'll be sure to mention it in the annual Airing of Grievances at Festivus :P
