So maybe we should flip it and start with Little Free Library since I mentioned that one first as inspirato. But in 29, how the story goes, and this is straight from their website, a man named Todd Boll from Wisconsin, Hudson, Wisconsin, started it all when he built a little model of a schoolhouse, of a little one-room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mom, who's a teacher.

Yeah. Rich Brooks was the guy, like you said, he partnered with. He actually retired from the, which is now an NGO, in 2014. But he, you know, they were pals and he thought it was a great idea. And again, inspired by Carnegie, they set out to start building these by 2010. So in 29 is when the first one was built. By 2010, it was like an established thing that was happening.

They started to give them away. They had charter signs. If it was an official one engraved with a charter number and it just people were into it and they start, you know, you see one of these things in your neighborhood.
