This is a cool idea. And I hope would be vandals leave them be. Reminds me of the old "free box" that was there for years in the 70s in front of the Old Cambridge Baptist Church in Harvard Square. People could leave or take clothes. I got a great scarf there back in the day.

Chinatown little free libraries are needed. City Public Library officials haven't been building a Chinatown public library!

There was a little free library set up on the lawn between the Science Library and Memorial Hall for a while after they completed the renovation of the Cambridge Street overpass, but it seems to have wandered off in recent months. Does anyone know what became of it?
