Operation Brain Food 2.0

Another Round of "Operation Brain Food" Where I spread the love of sardines by placing sardines into little free libraries. 

I've expanded this year on Operation Brainfood. I've incorporated volunteers to help distribute the sardine love in random little free liberties across the country as well as international little free libraries; Australia and Ukraine got included this year! I hit my local little free libraries as always. Some of you may recall when I first started Operation Brain Food 

Below is a few pics and workings. More to come. Keep popping those Tins!
