The smallest library in the world

I read this article in the newspaper today, what a great idea!! Very charming but would it work here?  Would red tape stop this e.g no wheelchair access!  Would Neds steal the books?             Nice idea though…maybe in a perfect world.

The smallest library in the world has appeared on the streets of New York City - and it has space for just one reader at a time.The bright yellow plastic structure houses 40 books and aims to help city-dwellers take a break from the pace of life in the metropolis by chilling out with a good story.The Little Free Library was designed by a pair of innovative architects using recycled materials to protect the books inside from the elements.

It was constructed from a plastic water tank and a wooden frame, with holes in the exterior allowing visitors to look in before they enter the structure.
