A Street-Corner Little Free Library's Take-vs-Leave Ratio Against Neighbours' Own Rating of the Box

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement surveys 214 registered users of 38 suburban little free libraries, matching each user's own value rating of the box against its live posted take-vs-leave ratio and against how easily the placard could be read from the footpath. Rating composition holds within 3 points across ratio bands, while placard legibility alone separates users who can recall the ratio from those who cannot, by 45-53 points.
