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? 🤔

@jordanlund I prefer the 5x8" book size, and I think that'll work really well for your lil library.

Unfortunately, if you were to go with my favourite book series, Wheel of Time, that'd be all you have room for.

So... Winnie the Pooh, Muddleheaded Wombat, Looking for Alibrandi, some Animorphs, maybe Tomorrow When the War Began, Fairytales for Wilde Girls.

For stuff like a series, I'm planning on feeding it one book at a time. No point putting out ALL of the Wheel of Time, that would just scare somebody, but Eye of the World works. Someone grabs that then put out the Great Hunt.
