Taking the plunge

I have been in love with the concept of mini libraries.  My pinterest account is brimming with hacked vending machines that dole out books, bright boxes displaying tempting titles, and fanciful fiction receptacles like this one in New York, featured in Lilbitbrit's blog.

This summer I think it is time to take the plunge.  I am determined to launch at least one little free library. 
Materials:
Tools:  Garage is full of them.
Paint:  The Recycling Center always comes through for me.
Books:  Oh yeah.  Tons.  This family definitely has the Gentle Madness and could do to shed a few titles.
Location:    ???

We live in a vinyl village at the end of a cul de sac.  Not a lot of foot traffic of any age.  Perhaps if we build it, they will come. 

Any ideas?
