The\u00a0council action seeks\u00a0to encourage more of the libraries, said Councilman Kolby Granville, who helped push\u00a0for the new policy. Residents who build or purchase a little library can submit an application and receipts to the city for a reimbursement.<\/p>\n
The city set aside $10,000 in its budget for the program, which could fund at least 30 to 40 boxes,\u00a0according to a city report. No permit or license is\u00a0required to build a box, but they have to adhere to size limits.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really is the perfect grouping of things that cities tend to care about. It\u2019s literacy, it’s recycling and\u00a0it\u2019s building community,” Granville said. “You\u2019re likely to bump into and talk to neighbors if you have books available on your front lawn.”<\/p>\n
