第 40 至 43 題為題組Todd Bol, a retired businessman, could never have expected that a wooden container he built on hisdeck one day in 2009 would have the global impact it does today.Bol built a dollhouse-size structure that looked like a schoolhouse on a post, and he put it on his lawnas a free community library to commemorate his mother, who was a book lover and school teacher. Bol’sprototype gave birth to Little Free Library (LFL), a nonprofit organization that seeks to place small,accessible book exchange boxes in neighborhoods around the world. The concept is simple: Neighbors areinvited to share a book, leave a book, or both. Today, there are over 50,000 of these libraries registered in70 countries.Almost everyone can register with LFL and start a library as long as the person keeps it in good shapeand makes sure that book materials are appropriate for his/her neighborhood. Library owners can createtheir own library boxes; therefore, the libraries are usually unique in appearance, and there seems to be nolimit to the possibilities. One library in California was built out of a used wine crate; another in Texas hadtiny stairs and bright colored walls. Once registered, libraries are assigned a number at LFL’s website. TheLFL Index lists the locations of all libraries with GPS coordinates and other information. Owners receive asign that reads “Little Free Library.”People say they have been more inclined to pick up a book when walking by a Little Free Library, outof curiosity and because it’s convenient. Some sidewalk librarians say they have met more neighbors sincehaving a little library in their front yard. Bol is also most proud of the way Little Free Library is bringingcommunities together. “It’s started a neighborhood exchange. It gets people talking and more comfortablewith their neighbors,” he says. “This leads to them helping each other.”

【評論內容】退休商人托德波爾永遠無法預料,他在2009年的某一天在他的套房裡建造一個木製集裝箱將會產生今天的全球影響。波爾建立了一個玩具屋大小的結構,看起來像一個郵局的校舍,他把它放在自己的草坪上,作為一個免費的社區圖書館,以紀念他的母親,他是一個書籍愛好者和學校老師。波爾的原型誕生了小免費圖書館(LFL),這是一家非營利組織,致力於在全球各地發布小型,便捷的圖書交換箱。這個概念很簡單:邀請鄰居分享一本書,留下一本書,或兩者兼而有之。今天,這些在70個國家註冊的圖書館已超過5萬個。幾乎每個人都可以在LFL註冊並開始圖書館,只要該人保持良好狀態並確保書籍資料適合他/她的鄰居。圖書館所有者可以創建自己的圖書館框;因此,圖書...
