I'm being gifted a "Little Free Library" for my birthday and I'm super excited to get started.

This is the one on the way:

While they're good at listing the EXTERNAL dimensions, they don't really cite the INTERNAL dimensions.

Any idea? I've never had to shop for books by size before. LOL.

I've got MORE than a few ideas after working in an actual library and bookstores for years and years, but I'm interested to know...

If size were no object, what books would YOU give away for free? ๐Ÿค”

You can go to second hand bookstores and grab lots of books for a much better price to stock the library with! Also worth keeping a bunch of extras to restock as needed. People are suppose to put stuff back into the libraries but not sure how the take vs. return ratios are.
