"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read." -Groucho Marx This is the largest of the free libraries I've seen since the Tardis in Detroit https://www.yelp.com/biz/tardis-detroit-detroit?hrid=4OXN6cvLtcAy7bfMiG68eA and the rocket ship library in Virginia https://www.yelp.com/biz/little-free-library-new-market-2?hrid=y9XGQztKTHlAdt-IkVmhGw. In fact, there is enough room to step inside to browse. A dozen shelves of books, some hardcover and some paperback. Fiction, non-fiction, multiple languages. I did not spot much in English today but that's understandable as we're in Switzerland so the majority is in German and French. If I had planned ahead properly, I would have brought a book from home to add here. Sorry! The Büchertauschbörse ("book exchange") is located along the riverside quite close to the Basel Paper Museum. Bring a book, take a book. It's free!
