Little free library catalog

Use with: build-website. Resume line when done: Built {project_name}, a weekly-updated catalog of a neighborhood book exchange — live at {url}

Brief

The little free library on your corner has an inventory nobody can see without walking over. Catalog it: what is on the shelf this week, checked on your walk home, plus a shelf history of what came and went. Neighbors check the page before walking over, and the history becomes a small record of what your street reads.

Personalize

• The library. A little free library you pass often enough to check weekly. If a household hosts it, tell them the plan and get their okay before publishing their box's location.
• Your checking rhythm. Pick the day and stick to it. The catalog is only useful if the "last checked" date is recent.
• The shelf history. Decide what a history entry looks like: arrived, taken, how long a book lasted. The book that vanished in a day says something; so does the one nobody will take.

Milestones

1. First full inventory taken: every title and author on the shelf, photographed for your own reference.
2. Catalog live at a URL with the current shelf and a last-checked date.
3. Second week's check done; arrivals and departures recorded, and the shelf history page begins.
4. A photo of the library itself on the page, taken by you, with the host's okay if it sits on private property.
5. Four consecutive weekly checks completed; the history has real movement in it.
6. Card or note with the URL placed inside the library (host's okay first), so borrowers can find the page. Final README.

Done means

• Live URL responding, with a last-checked date under a week old at handoff
• Host household's okay recorded in the README, if the library has one
• Four weekly inventories done; shelf history shows arrivals and departures with dates
• The URL is posted at the library itself and at least one neighbor has seen the page, noted in the README
• At least 8 commits across at least 5 distinct days, authored by you
• SESSIONS.md has an entry per session, written by you
