SAN FRANCISCO -- A San Francisco couple's Little Free Library in front of their home has become the focal point of a debate about permits required by the city.

"It's such a surprise. Sometimes, when we go in and out, we say 'Wait a minute. We have to see what's inside the library,'" Myers said."It's more than just a library. It's what the library brings to the neighborhood," said neighbor Jeffrey Clauss."What makes this special is that it represents hundreds and hundreds of people all over the city.

Gordon said that an encroachment permit costs more than $1,400, not including annual fees. The department was required to respond because of the complaint. "The city is actually doing something about it, we heard. It's encouraging in that respect," Myers said.
