Little Free Library Book Giveaway!

^[1]405 words

Have you ever stumbled across one of those birdhouses for books in nice neighborhoods? Little Free Libraries are a way neighbors anonymously offer new reading material to each other while following one simple rule: “Take a book. Leave a book.”

The Little Free Library website ^[2] itself features photos of blacks and Hispanics proudly standing by their libraries. The organization purports to achieve its mission of inspiring readers by “providing 24/7 book access,” thereby suggesting that black, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ individuals might not read as much as heterosexual whites, since libraries are not open at night. Readers familiar with the midnight basketball program ^[3] will find this humorous.

Despite the website’s woke posturing, its approach is a great way to share new ideas in your neighborhood — including white identity politics. For example, finding Peter Brimelow’s Alien Nation ^[4] in a Little Free Library was one step in my own intellectual journey.

Understanding this, one of our most engaged readers and supporters is offering a giveaway grant. In his own words:

This is the kind of thing widely separated individuals (like those on the Internet) can do with almost no risk. Although its efficacy is uncertain, it’s at least targeted at the right audience, given the demographics of who builds Little Free Libraries and where they’re placed. [Check out the map here ^[5].]

Here are the rules:

Starting now and until the grant is used up, any readers who want to participate can buy one book from Counter-Currents, plus pay shipping for the entire bundle, and receive up to five additional copies in paperback for free up to a maximum of $75 for the books to be donated per person.

• Instead of using our cart feature, please e-mail [email protected] ^[6] with your order request so I can send you the total shipping cost for your bundle.
• Once you’ve placed your books, send us pictures to share on social media!

This offer lasts until the grant is used up.

All this is of course about spreading new ideas to people you don’t know. But what about the people you do know? Gift subscriptions to Counter-Currents are also included in our White Wednesday ^[7] sale (use the code “WHITEWEDNESDAY” at checkout for 15% off). Go to our paywall page here ^[8] and click “give a subscription” to add a gift subscription to your cart. Socks only last so long; ideas can be treasured forever.

Thank you as always for your readership and support. Let’s get the word out!
