Sharalee Armitage Howard had a 100-plus year old cottonwood tree rotting outside of her home. The tree was becoming dangerous but rather than cut it down completely she decided to make it into something the whole neighborhood could enjoy. “We had to remove a huge tree that was over 110 years old, so I decided to turn it into a little free library (which I’ve always wanted),” Sharalee wrote on her Facebook page. “Here it is (minus some cleanup, vegetation, and trim work)!” LINK

That's a lovely transformation! I kinda want one. (A tree library, not just any little free library.)

Awesome idea. Sad that the tree had to be removed though.... (Feeling in a funk today I guess.) Glad the stump remains and was turned into something useful, educational, beautiful and enjoyable for their community.

That is lovely!! I have a very large tree at my sidewalk that may need to be cut down someday... I also always put boxes of purged books out to the curb to give away for free. I’ve had people suggest I start a little sidewalk library, now I can dream about how I combine the two!  |

This is just amazing and to turn it into something so special! She's not too far from me, so next time we are in the area we might have to go check it out. I just love all the little details they added to it!

Love it! The non-profit I work for partners each year with technical education programs and provides funding for them to build Little Free Libraries. They get so creative, but this really tops it!
