Default Little Free Libraries (and reading in our culture)

Have you all got Little Free Libraries in your areas? Have we ever discussed them here? There's a lot to discuss. Do they undercut bookstores? Have they led to interactions or connections with the hosts? Do you notice patterns in their offerings?

Currently I notice that boxes that used to have books for adults or a mix of books for adults and for kids are getting overrun by children's books. This may only be evidence that people are more prone to pass on to others children's books (which their families quickly outgrow) than other books, but I can't help wondering whether its another sign of something I see elsewhere: that our culture highly values reading as an activity for kids, and much less for the rest of us.

Thoughts?
