I want to make a little library. I can buy a kit, but I want to have one where I don't need to dig a hole and make a post. Any ideas there?

Or anyone know a good old box that'll make a good substitute?

Maybe ask the city if you could attach it to a lightpole in a high traffic area.

If you don't want to buy a kit, check craigslist or FB marketplace free sections for free stuff that could be substituted. If you get lucky you'll run up on someone remodeling and tossing out old cabinets

Nobody reads books Cletus

These invariably get filled with valueless slop. Low-effort romance and mystery novels. Bad children's books.

Is it going on your own property? You could strap it to a tree maybe. Put it on an antique chair or something for a certain kind of chic.
I've seen fence guys put chain link fenceposts in the ground by just hammering them straight in -- no digging. If your box isn't gonna be stupid heavy, you could try something like that.
If you're feeling goofy, you can put it on a post and just keep it upright with guys (that's tie-downs, not men)

What if they're dead men?

It's not really for reading. It's a repellent for a specific category of people.

Try your kit but with a slight redesign like this as a base. It's a body armor stand, but it should be fairly easy to adapt it for your use.

I like to put my old fast food bags in these things. It usually has some food left in it too so it really stinks in the summer

digging a hole is preferred, if you don't then you're asking for it to be damaged or stolen >>2931795 this is an outlier though, don't be discouraged from beautifying your neighborhood with something wholesome like this.

Fucking lmao anon. Three options, dig the hole, metal round base, or start hanging em high

>>2931614
Just because there are plenty of jokes about it having books or anything that requires reading around won't scare them away.

Please, for the love of God, do not install a Little Library if you live in or near a neighborhood where ghetto people have easy access. LLs are often destroyed, used for drug drops, or empty because joggers can't behave themselves.
