"Avi and Dannette Lank chose the permission route when they decided to place one of those trendy little free libraries in their front yard, you know the ones where people stop by to take a book or leave a book.

The Village of Whitefish Bay shot down their plans. Worse yet, the village is ordering a church to take down the suburb's only existing little library, which wasn't bothering anybody."
