It's #BlackHistoryMonth and we're blown away by how teacher Hollie Tubbs decorated her classroom door! And it's got us wondering, could something similar be done to a Little Free Library? (If you try it, send us photos!)

In a recent episode of #HGTVHomeTown, @scotsmanco and @ErinRNapier built a Little Free Library! Erin noted that childhood literacy is important to the couple, so it made sense to include a library in the yard. The library was built with materials from the family's old barn!
