In El Dorado, a resident has built what is known as a little library in her front yard.
The little libraries have appeared around the nation where people are encouraged to take a book and leave a book.
Anyone is able to get a book for free without the worry of due dates and late fees.
The owner of the El Dorado Little Library says she got the idea to start her own the little library after reading an article about it in a bulletin from the American Association of Retired Persons.
According to the owner, the books change regularly and she gets pretty good traffic from people wanting to read and replace books.
