This is such a neat idea. I can see building a Little, Free Library being an interesting project. Add a solar embedded stack [1] to it and you could add some fun features such as: shelf time tracking (maybe to replace never read books), number of checkouts/returns, etc. I'm not sure if adding connectivity would be keeping with the spirit of the project, but it opens up even more interesting social possibilities.

In general, I love the idea of projects/technology that encourage interaction in the physical world. (See the first week or so of Pokémon Go).

Nice idea! Also, if the books happen to be registered with BookCrossing, they are given a unique ID which you could potentially use for even more social interaction.
