Son Austin,now a 10th-grader,didn?t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted,and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he?d built years earlier for daughter Abbie?s toy horses,and made a door of glass.

　　After adding the library?s final touches(装点),the family hung a signboard on the front,instructing users to“take a book,return a book,”and making the Henriksen library,now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world,the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.

　　They stocked it with 20 or so books they?d already read,a mix of science fiction,reference titles,novels and kids? favorites.“I told them,keep in mind that you might not see it again,”said Janey,a stay-at-home mom.

　　Since then,the collection keeps replenishing(补充)itself,thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.

　　The project’s best payoff,says Peter,are the thank-you notes left behind.“We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”

　　1.In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”?

　　A.It owns a yellow roof.

　　B.It stands near a sidewalk.

　　C.It protects book lovers from the sun.

　　D.It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.
