A while back, a local non-profit here in Flint, MI held a campaign and got a handful of these put up. It is amazing that, in a city where anything not bolted down is fair game for theft, these Little Free Libraries are (afaik) always stocked, and I have never heard any stories of people finding their LFL empty one morning. It does restore a little faith in humanity.

I expect vandals would have no interest in books as a whole. They wouldn't be vandals otherwise: there is something about the fragility and meaningfulness of books that makes one shudder at the thought of making physical violence to objects.

Alas, one of the LFL's setup near me in Austin lasted about two months, then had the entire structure stolen in the middle of the night. That's been the exception, AFAIK.
