NEW: City of Ottawa proposes new rules for little free libraries on residential properties ottnews
The Little Library is now set up on the front porch of Wendy Chaytor's Stittsville home after Ottawa Bylaw Services ordered her to move it away from the curb.
A 'Little Free Library' is a small structure with a bookcase, promoting a "take a book, leave a book' free book exchange. The cabinet-sized mini-libraries have become popular over the past few years, with structures set up in several neighbourhoods across the city. The little free libraries are currently prohibited on the city's right-of-way under the city's bylaw, but staff have unveiled possible changes before a report is presented to the transportation committee in June.
