Local little Library denied twice, should I submit again?

[Vlad722]

Over the course of the last two years, my buddies and I have tried to submit a local little library to be a PokeStop, and it keeps getting the ride. And absolutely baffles me because there are another 10 to 20 little libraries all with PokéStop status within a 10-mile radius. Does anyone have any advice? I want to resubmit again, but I want to make sure that I’m doing it right. Does anyone have any wording that has worked for them in the past? Any advice is much appreciated.

Little free libraries can make for great wayspots, but they need to be somewhere that doesn’t fall foul of the rejection criteria. Unfortunately, a lot of them tend to be on single family private residential property, and if that is the case for this one, then nothing that you can say about it will make it eligible to be approved.

Little Free Library eligibility is often misunderstood. Here are two clarifications you should read:

Little Free Libraries

Little Free Libraries (LFL) can be eligible for nomination, but their location is critical to whether they can be accepted. Little Free Libraries with safe access on sidewalks outside of apartment buildings or on municipal or communal property are eligible. Those on single-family private residential properties (SFPRP) are ineligible. [image] :+1:The LFL above is a good example of an eligible Waypoint. It is on public property and is well-maintained. It faces the sidewalk, does not block acces…

Private Residences, Farmland & K-12

Single-family private residential properties (SFPRP), farms, and K-12 (schools or facilities primarily focused for persons under 18 years of age) are ineligible. This includes the outer facing facade, fence of these locations, and property boundaries. Objects in or upon apartment blocks, gated communities, or their shared spaces may be eligible assuming they otherwise meet criteria and are intended to be accessed by a community, even if not everyone. Communal spaces have the potential to be eli…

The photo makes it appear that this one is probably not eligible.
