Little Free Library on Brisbane Way

Please bear with me. I've not updated in quite some time as this "part-time" project got sidelined by life. I am currently in the latter stages of a legal dispute with my homebuilder that is taking up a lot of my time (and sanity). As soon as that is resolved, I will get back to this project and hopefully have it up and ready for use by summer.

When J.R.R. Tolkien sold the film rights to The Lord of the Rings, he added one unusual condition: Disney could never be involved in the adaptation. Tolkien, a literary purist, believed that fairy tales carried deep meaning and symbolism, and he didn’t want his work simplified or turned into a children’s cartoon. To him, fantasy was not just child’s play, it was a way for adults to wrestle with universal truths about good, evil, hope, and despair.

This decision preserved the integrity of his epic vision. By preventing Disney from watering down his masterpiece, Tolkien ensured that his stories would retain their complexity and timelessness. Today, his work remains one of the most influential achievements in literature, and the movies that eventually came to life reflect the same rich depth that he guarded so fiercely.

To the father of modern fantasy.

This is the future library. Donated by AC Promotionals Plus and Thrifty Nickel.

Painting is about 2 months out. Gives me enough time to clean it up, make small repairs, build the shelving, and remove the plexiglass (for now).
