The Little Free Library
Near my office, someone built a small wooden box and filled it with books. A sign invited people to take one book and leave another whenever they wished. At first, I only looked inside during my lunch break, but one day I borrowed a novel that I had always wanted to read. After I finished it, I returned it with another book from my own shelf. Over time, I noticed the collection changing every week. Sometimes there were children's books, travel guides, or cookbooks. I also started recognizing familiar faces who stopped by to exchange books. Although we rarely spoke, we often smiled at each other. That little library quietly connected people who might never have met otherwise.
