Little Free Libraries are boxes of books placed outside that invite people to "take a book or leave a book." There are thousands of them created by individuals who want to share books and encourage reading. Mine is made from recycled baby crib parts.

I have been asked to build a LFL by a friend. He lives in a Queen Anne style house and wants the library to reflect the style of the house.
My question, finally, is about building materials. I think I want to use 1/2" exterior plywood, but thought there might be some other better choice. If plywood is the correct choice, what is the grade or code I should look for to make sure I get material that will hold up to hot summers and winter cold and snow. The library will be painted.
I couldn't get pictures of my LFL or the model I made of the new one to show up here. If you are interested, send me a PM and I'll zap the pics to you.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Ron
