minus-squareJordan Lund@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 years agoDepends on the size of the bookstore. ;) I was gifted a Little Free Library for my birthday. Total cost for the whole kit was about $800… Without books. I spent about another $350-$400 populating it, getting business cards, an Instagram account, etc. I’m not running it as a business, it is a Free Library after all, but I already have one bookstore donating stock in return for cross promotion.
