Paul Piper painted monstera leaves onto "The Little Library" in front of his Mariner's Cove home in Hawaii
Kai on Sunday. The box was made to house books for neighbors to take or give for free, and was inspired by
his wife, Maureen. "She noticed it on the internet and liked it. She pointed it out to me. Christmas was coming
and I said, 'I know what I'm going to do.' So, back in October I got a guy to build a box for me, and then put it
up in time for Christmas," said Piper. The box does not have books available yet but will soon.
