  A nine-year-old boy in eastern Kansas who decided to open his own
  little front-yard library and share books with his neighbors has been
  shut down for violating a city zoning ordinance.

  ...


  On May 11, Mother's Day, Collins put out his own little free library,
  complete with children's classics like Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle
  in Time and Roald Dahl's The BFG.

  But a month later, his parents received a letter from officials
  saying the library violated the city's zoning ordinance and needed to
  be removed or they would be fined. The city prohibits people from
  having structures on their property that are detached from the
  physical house.
