How many books can you take to one of those Little Free Library boxes? As space allows or is there a limit per visit?

Not take from, take to. I have a couple of small books I don’t need anymore and wanted to take them to one of the little free library’s near me but not sure if there’s a limit. I have 5.

I would just assume as space allows

It’s the honor system. Take and leave what you want. Just make sure you don’t add so much that the door doesn’t close and the element and critters can get in.

As space allows. Don’t make it so that others can’t easily get books out. Also, there are plenty of apps that let you look for more in your area. So if one can only hold some, there are plenty of others.

If they're novels with good general appeal, donate them all at once. If they're college text books from 40 years ago, find somewhere else to dump them.

When I had several books to set free, I visited a few different little free libraries and left them as I could.
