I recently found out about Little Free Libraries (LFL). Apparently it is a growing trend with more than 21,000 of them around the world (most in the USA).

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.
I love the idea. Anything to help people read is a fabulous thing in my world. And that it can create a sense of community is a bonus.
