I'm working on my little library and it's become far larger of a project than I could have imagined. Not only did I increase the size of my little library (generally they are about one foot by one foot) but I had this cleaver idea to make a mini library diorama in the top part of it. I've always loved diorama's and this one beats any shoe box craft I ever made. I'm not real keen on using power saws, not because I am without skill, but because a good work area for wood working at my home is non-existent.
I don't like having projects hanging over my head for long and this one is going on a month, so I'm a bit frustrated, but I'll get there. Thanks to my dear friends the diorama part is finished....now phase 2 starts- getting the sections completed for the books. My little library will have both a children's section and a grown-up's section. Below are pictures of my project so far. When it's finished, I plan to have a little block party to invite friends and neighbors. I'll keep you posted!

| This is the corner of the front yard I reconfigured for the Little Library. |
 |
| Of course I had to add a sign to let neighbors and passers by know what I am up to. |
 |
| I got this little chicken coop on Craigslist for $20. |
 |
| It's multiple openings will make great sections for kids and grown-ups. |
 |
| This is the start of my diorama. I started by painting little books on the shelves. |
 |
| More painted books. |

| We closed off one of the three doors - this will be the back side of the little library. |
