DETROIT (FOX 2) - Waiting for the bus is about to get much more enjoyable with a local nonprofit providing commuters with a comfy place to kick back with a book.
They build benches for bus stops - that double as little free libraries
Volunteers from AT&T are taking time for community service Friday at Sit On It Detroit - building benches for bus stops that double as little free libraries.
"People have a place to sit and something to read while they're waiting for the bus," said Charles Molnar.

Molnar's Sit On It initiative has put about 200 benches at bus stops over the past six years - but they couldn't do it without companies and organizations coming in to help.?width=700
