Enfield, in County Meath is where some friends of mine are living. While visiting them, we went for a walk and had some hot chocolate in the cafe. On the way back, we paused at the cutest little art installation – named the “littlest library”.
Basically it’s two cabinets up on posts which look like giant bird houses. You open the glass fronted cabinet and inside are books for children and adults (depending on which cabinet). They’re free to “borrow” and return and it’s based on the honesty principle.
It’s is located across from Dixons on Main Street, and they have a website at:

and it’s open 7 days a week from dawn till dusk! We open at around 9AM and close at 19:00 PM.
If you’re in town – it’s worth checking out and trading some books. Also – what a great idea for other small communities out there!
