  I don't think this exists in my city.  But I am part of my neighbourhood FB group, so close enough.  Mostly it's photos of dog poop on the sidewalk and people complain about owners not picking up, or it's about the HOA fees and utter complete disaster that is their HOA/management company (#4, #5?? I don't know anymore).  Glad I live on the other half with no HOA
  
  The latest post is that we now have a free little library.  They're popping up around the city.  It's a box attached to a public fence with books in it.  You're invited to take or borrow a book, or leave one you're done with.  It's pretty awesome.  Here's an example if you haven't heard of them:

  @WinstonsGirl we have those little free libraries popping up around town too. They are so cute - and what a great idea for getting rid of all those extra books.

  We had one go missing in our city.  It said Free Library, and someone took the entire box!!  It was later returned.  Oops

  A friend put one in her yard and someone either knocked it down or vandalized it  I forget which. But she put it back up

  I love the little libraries!  The Detroit Police Department is putting them up at each precinct. 
  
  There was one in our neighborhood, but it's gone now, not sure why.

  We found our little library at the end of our street when we were geocaching.  Apparently our little library is also a geocache.

  I have never heard of or seen little libraries.  What a great idea!  I love it.

  THe kiddo wanted to put up a free library a few years ago--it's at Nana's house, because our road is to damn busy...but nana's house it to damn in the sticks, so it's warm fuzzies and sorely underutilized.
