Description
Seek out Little Free Libraries around the world
Whilst checking out the ABC News website, I came across an article describing how the Little Free Library movement has taken off in Melbourne.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-03/little-free-library-movement-takes-off-in-melbourne/5936466
Intrigued I did some more research and thought they might make a nice locationless cache (not to mention a potential physical cache hide too!).
They're found across Australia and the world so get a smiley for visiting them (proximity and find limits removed - please try to log previously unfound LBLs if you can)
To log this cache, provide as much information as you can about it's location (coordinates and description), owner (including their steward number), who (if anyone) it's dedicated to, etc - this information can be found on the Little Free Libraries website
What is a Little Free Library?
It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories.
In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a
book (or two) and bring back another book to share.Our Mission:
To promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide. To build a sense of
community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations.Our Goal:
To build 2,510 Little Free Libraries—as many as Andrew Carnegie—and keep going.*Key Strategies:
Promotion of reading for children, literacy for adults and libraries around the world.
As there are limited options in Austalia at the moment, I'll allow logging of non-offical Little Free Libraries too if it's a free, public book exchange in the same vein ie. in a small letterbox style housing (not cafes, libraries, etc) Extra kudos for logging the real McCoy LFLs though!
Update: There is a local movement called Street Library https://streetlibrary.org.au/ These are perfectly acceptable to log here too - no doubt many may be listed on both library sites.
Lovers of swaggies/trackables might find the Book Crossing project interesting too!
Congratualations to blingg for being quick off the mark and getting FTF.

There is a little library in front of the Turners beach hall.
Grabbed a photo of the book library in Penguin while walking past.
A very unusual place to have a free library. It is at the Orion Shopping Centre, Springfield. Queensland

These little things are everywhere now but what a nice way to share. This one is in Carlton St in the Lenah Valley/New Town area. A delicious bakery is right across the road so you can take your 'new' book over for a coffee and delicacy

Covered in Studio Artes stickers which is a local (to me, not Brooklyn) performing arts centre for people with disabilities. Who knows, maybe they make libraries as well! Thanks for another one.

This brand new Street Library appeared a few days ago on my regular walking route. It is well stocked and as the local libraries and op-shops are closed due to the continuing COVID-19 restrictions in Melbourne it is a welcomed addition to our community. I have quite a few books that I will be adding to this library in the next few days.
It's registration number is #3186 and it appears on https://streetlibrary.org.au as the "Weidlich Road Library".

I noticed this brightly coloured library as I was driving to my mum's house. As it was near a bus stop I had to park further up the street and walk back to it.
It seems to be well stocked but none of the books interested me. It is labeled "Tiny Free Library" and doesn't appear on any website, as far as I can see.

Our free Little Free Library was built by my wonderful father from recycled building materials for his grandchildren and the community. We are opposite Bunbury Primary School and it is great to see so many children using the library on a daily basis. It is a wonderful venue that is shaded in summer and welcomes visitors. It is a community minded neighbourhood and people are always out and about. We hope it encourages people to read and share and discuss books.

I'd noticed this little library ages ago, next to the chemist in Mount Colah, that doubles as our Post Office. It's a "Street Library" but isn't currently registered on their website.

As we were travelling yesterday from Cleve to Whyalla we stopped in at Cowell for a look. Outside the pub was a little free library. Great timing as we had two books to swap. One we left was a Sandra Brown book called Lethal. That was a good read that we both enjoyed.
Found this free library at S33 41.073 E136 55.593.
Noticed that most caravan parks have a book swap too.

Suzy needed a book for her next bookclub read (it was free choice) and so she decided to get one from a little library. After keeping our eye open for ages, we found one outside her old Kindy in Coolangatta. This one is called Word on the Street and its registered with Street Libraries. It was built for the kindy by the local Men's Shed and had books and magazines that would appeal to both little kindy kids (cardboard books) and their older siblings and mums and dads.
Suzy left Tim Ross's biography and took a book about exploring Antarctica. I didn't take any books because there were no recipe books there. However, I am logging this cache, because she logged it last time for a different library.

Found it while trying to figure out what goes wrong with a multi in the area. Yes, I was very much off. And then I saw this beautiful little library!
I had originally planned to get a photograph of the Little Free Library in Kibble Park, Gosford (NSW). However over recent months the LFL there has been abused, left with almost no books, glass window broken etc, and more recently was nought but a short pole with nothing on top. I'm not quite sure that the park always attracts the best crowd... Great kid's playground there though!
However I recently drove past another LFL at Wyoming (NSW) the other day and today stopped for a suss and a pic. Didn't see any books I was interested in, so TNLN. The LFL at this location should fare a LOT better over time. TFTL!

I've checked the Little Free Libraries and Street Library websites and this little library does not seem to be listed on either.
We literally turned down the wrong street, although this turned out to be a good thing because just as we turned this bright orange little library appeared in view, so I insisted we turn around and stop to check it out.
There were no identifying marks to indicate allegiance to any particular formal little libraries, although the handpainted signs on either side and above the door indicated that I could take a book. Unfortunately, a: I couldn't get the door open and I did not want to force it (I think it might have been stuck because of last night's rain); and b: I didn't have a book to leave in return. Instead I took a photo with our travelling companions Max and Samboo.
The library itself was just down the road from a primary school and while it looked very new, I suspect it will get plenty of use when school starts for 2018.
Thank you for this locationless.

I looked on the little free library site but this library is not listed. I came across it in the Barkly Square shopping centre in Brunswick. Looks like you can take a book or leave a book. No info about it at the site but I found out it is called the Barkly Square Book Nook and books are preloved from the Salvation Army. You can review each book inside the front cover of each book
We came across this little pop up library while caching in Latrobe. The library is located in Kings Park and Sam is the librarian. It is the first time that we have seen one of these. We waited until a 'patron' had made a swap and then took our photos. Thanks for this interesting locationless cache.

N.B. Poldark - I did: "(one find per Little Free Library and per cacher initially)"
N.B. Sol de lune - feel free to log it as a find now.
However I will remove the proximity block as I don't see this limitation is really necessary if it will encourage more people to log more finds - I was hoping just to prevent the same couple of caches being logged over and over and encourage finders to seek them out across the country.

Looks like someone is not happy with my log. No problems, I'll change it to a note. It's just a locationless.....and they should feel free to change their log back to a find. Just be sure you take this approach with every locationless in the future, in regard to ensuring everyone meets the complete criteria for a find....and I wish you good luck with that. 
Don't think it right to log someone's name and address on this site (even though the info may be available on the LFL site anyway) and that is why you don't see the information in my log.
So, over to my fellow ACT cacher to claim this one.....and I'll go and claim the GCA traditional that is now located inside the LFL instead.
Thanks again Quiet1_AU.

Cockburn Street, Curtin (ACT) - Little Free Library Registration Number 21,761, steward is John Lovering.
I visited this beautiful LFL this morning and was lucky enough to meet John, who arrived home just as I was trying to decide which book to swap my one for. Had a lovely chat about the LFL movement and the construction of this one. I must say that this is a lot bigger than I expected and is well stocked with good quality books - far better than you get in second hand book shops. The flower pots on the sides are a lovely addition and the whole library is weather-proofed. During our chat, we also discussed geocaching and I got the tip that John plans to place a GC cache here also, so it's worth keeping an eye on.
John has a second library already constructed - it is just waiting for a suitable home and steward. If you are interested in hosting a LFL but don't have the time/means to make your own, please call in and see John.
Many thanks to quiet1_au for creating this cache, I would not have found John's LFL otherwise - TFTC
EDIT - I have had to change this to a note instead of a found log due to a proximity warning message which is a shame as I have included all the details requested by the cache listing, yet the other finder did not Can I please suggest that the cache listing be updated to reflect the cache owners policy of only one find per LFL as I was not aware of this at the time of trying to log my find, thanks.

This free library has a librarian known as Caxici and is situated in a bushland setting in South Hobart. It is known as the "Big Hill Book Exchange." I first found it on the 23 Oct 2009. The walk to and from is exhilarating.
TFTC and cheers

An easy one for me as I placed the cache here (GC5WV1W)! I'm logging the visit for today as I dropped off some more books to continue the sharing. Located at Hurlstone Park train station in the Canterbury LGA, Sydney.

Whilst camping in Macquarie Woods Recreation Area near Vittoria I saw this version of an unofficial Little Free Library. It is a steel construction fitted into an old fire place & beside the undercover display boards. There were several books & phamplets. The glass doors were held shut by a twig.
Ever since reading the article in The Age I'd had my open for one of these.
While strolling through a park in Macleod VIC I was happy to see a very new one had gone in and it even had a railway theme to match the location!
Next time I'm here I'm planning on swapping a couple of books. Remember, trade even or trade up.

#GA398 - 09:20; I suggested to Sol de lune some time back that we should do a day run to Sydney to pick up some of the GCA trigs and caches on offer. A couple of weeks ago we identified an opportunity timing wise and so it was that we made our way north today. We had headed into Menangle to collect a GC and the local CORS when we passed a little free library. Stopped, grabbed the happy snaps and we were soon on our way again. TFTC quiet1_au

Had a couple of these pop up in Canberra and after reading about them online, headed out today to have a look.
This one looks good and has a few good books waiting to be exchange. An excellent idea, hope if does well.
Thanks for highlighting them in this locationless quiet1_au.

This morning we were walking along Victoria Parade in Devonport when we came across the "Devonport Pop-Up Library". It consists of a sign identifying the purpose and the Librarians (mother and daughter, and a box of books. Rather than being a permanent structure, the sign and box are put in place early each morning and collected at sunset (the Librarian lives very close by). It is not an official "Little-Free Library" but does serve the same purpose of providing a location to swap books (or donate them if you wish) at no cost. We hope this find fits in with the extended guidelines provided by the cache owner. A photo with two images has been added to the Gallery.
Did a caching run recently to the Great Lake area in central Tassie and on the way back spotted a row of 15 letterboxes at the start of Brodies Road in Golden Valley. Stopped and took the required photos to log the Five Plus locationless cache and also took photos of the House of Books book exchange we found sitting behind the letterboxes. Turns out we can now use those photos to log this locationless as well. Bonus! TFTL
Interesting I must have seen the article around the same time.
I checked the website and noticed that there was one in West Footscray, Vic.
A quick detour from dropping my nephew home and I had a nice snap.
The owner is Caroline T., Steward and it sits in the from garden on the cnr of Hansen and Nesnah St.
Steward number #11127
Not much other info I'm afraid.
No borrowing for me today.

This free library is outside a community centre in Christchurch. There are several like this that have sprung up since the earthquakes.Most are on blocks that have been cleared because of building damage. They generally use old fridges for storage and are all based on the bring one take one idea.They also make great meeting places. A good idea for a locationless.

The Hulbert St book exchange is located on the side of the road in the quiet residential suburb of South Fremantle, it is well stocked with approx 150 books and is available for anyone to use 24/7.
The original cache (RIP...) I archived immediately after I discovered it was too similar to another locationless cache, but it kept loading from my queries... So I've given it new life as this totally different cache to reuse the existing GA code. Enjoy.
