You must have noticed small wooden houses in which books are stored while walking around one of the Slovenian cities. It is a project that bears the name of a bookmaker. This was born on the initiative of Nina Kožar from 2011 on Facebook, and there are already quite a few book exchange houses in Slovenia today. The concept also appeared abroad, and Jessica McClard from Arkansas took the project even further. While the booksellers encourage people to read and exchange books with each other, she herself launched a mini street storage project. Wooden cabinets are intended for the exchange of food and basic necessities.
Cabinets with food and necessities they are social version bookkeepers, where they are located in wooden cabinets instead of books food and basic necessities of life, which can be contributed or taken by anyone.

Project The Little Free Pantry, which it is based on the same concept as booksellers, except that it is about food exchange, is intended for mutual assistance. She launched it in May 2016 Jessica McClard, her food cabinet, for which she received a grant from a non-profit company Thrivent Financial, and immediately met with an excellent response. This is the wooden box at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Fayetteville (USA) quickly gained "imitators", and you can even find it on her website instructions for making your own cabinet.
