DIY Free Little Library | Infinite Builds X UC Santa Cruz

Let's build a library where people can share and exchange books with one another. In this video, I constructed a free little library for Stevenson College, UC Santa Cruz. This project was fullly funded by the Robert Dodge Student Service Award.

Great job! Really cool that you got to install it on campus. Also, good thinking wrt the flush magnetic latch--it's an elegant solution.

[@infinitebuilds491]

I appreciate it. 😇

[@stepupformentalhealth]

Best one I've seen so far!

[@infinitebuilds491]

Thank you! Your comment made my day!

I've been thinking about building a little library outside my home but worry a bit about vandalism. All the same, I suspect my copy of Sapiens will stay on my own bookshelf ;)

[@ryan61384]

That is such a nice library you built there.

[@infinitebuilds491]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

[@brianlong3522]

very nice. I pray one day I can build like this.

[@lilynguyen7954]

You’re welcome! Glad it helps 😁

Nice little library!

[@isrealrancourt7080]

Nice work guys!!

[@infinitebuilds491]

Thank you my friend!

Why not put the hinges on the inside instead of outside?

[@infinitebuilds491]

Good idea! I just didn't know to implement the hinge on the inside at that moment :)))

[@kevinhart9954]

Exactly how was the door assembled?

[@infinitebuilds491]

You could take a look at my plan in the description section :)

[@KateMcElwee]

Thank you so much for this fantastic video and free plans! Do you happen to know the interior dimensions? It looks like maybe roughly 14-16" square by around 15-17" tall once assembled? I may be way off though. This will be the first thing I ever build by myself. :)

[@infinitebuilds491]

The interior dimension is around 17" x 11.5" x 19". Good luck, Kate!

@@infinitebuilds491 thank you!!

[@blancacorona1223]

Love the little library! Can you please repost the build plan? The link says it has expired.

[@infinitebuilds491]

Thanks! I just updated the link, let me know if it still does not work for you.

[@blancacorona1223]

@@infinitebuilds491 It works! Thanks!

[@MsJonai]

How much did this cost to make?

[@infinitebuilds491]

I don't quite remember how much it was in total, but you could use my materials list and look up through your local Home Depot website.
