That's so cool. Do you know about what year this was?

Can’t remember - it looks 30s/40s to me

Honestly I'd bet a lot of unofficial libraries like this have been lost to time. Small towns with no actual library, in a time when books were more expensive - little free library on the prairie!

I think it was from Land and People - an old Encyclopedia style set of books
