The Quirky Free Library Inside a Fridge in Setubal!

Ever seen a library inside a refrigerator? 👀

Brent takes you to a unique free pop-up library in Setúbal, Portugal — a community project he and Karen helped sponsor.

You’ll discover:

✅ Why creating community projects like this isn’t as easy as it looks

✅ The surprising reason every book is stamped

✅ How a repurposed fridge is bringing neighbors together

✅ Brent’s own book donation to the library

📖 If you love exploring the hidden gems of Portugal, local culture, and meaningful ways to give back while living abroad, this video is for you.
