Another cool Little Free Libraries story

I really mean to make one of these, one of these days:

Brandon Wyzbinski-Gelzer didn't read much, but when he did, he usually picked up Reader's Digest condensed books.

So when his parents decided to turn a kitchen cabinet built by their son into a mini-library and install it in front of their east side home, an artist decoupaged pages from Reader's Digest condensed books on the tiny repository, which features a handmade sign: "Little Free Library Brought to You by Brandon's Tool Shed."

Wyzbinski-Gelzer committed suicide a few years ago, and each year on his birthday his parents, Pat Wyzbinski and Scott Gelzer, have organized a community service project in his memory. Last year, when their son - who was training to be a carpenter - would have turned 29, the couple organized the construction of 29 such libraries.
