If you visit just about any American town, you’re going to find at least one Walmart store. Where I live, there’s 2 for every hundred thousand citizens. Some stores span a whopping 698 million square feet. So what happens when one of them closes? What do you do with two and a half acres of empty store?

Instead of letting their 124,500 square foot store stay vacant, they transformed it into the largest single-floor public library in the United States. It also serves as a huge farm and art market where locals get to sell their organic, locally grown crops and art work. Pretty neat, huh? Check out the photos:
