Though this “Walking Library” charged borrowers, I can imagine adapting this in the spirit of the Little Free Library concept and walking around one afternoon just giving away books for free. Part of the awesomeness of last year's Bike-In Theater events at Old Stadium Park was the free book table/book swap. 

In case you can’t read the caption, it reads

THE WALKING LIBRARY: London, England – Critics are always remarking that we in this country lag far behind those of European countries when it comes to borrowing books from libraries. Well, this enterprising girl at Rumsgate solves the problem by taking her books in a rack tied to her back round the streets and from door to door and people can borrow them for a week at the price of twopence.
