I Dropped Off a Book at 22 Little Free Libraries While Running 19 Miles

After noticing a couple Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood during a run, I was curious just how many there were around me.

Turns out there are A LOT!

So I did what any reasonable human would, I decided to set a boundary and see how many Little Free Libraries I could leave a book in during a single long run while wearing a backpack.

There ended up being 22 libraries that fell within my imaginary line, so that became the challenge over the course of 19 miles.
