What about incorporating a small solar light inside. Pick up a light from the "Dollar Store", hack it up and mount the solar panel outside. If you get several, you can increase your "run time" by combining batteries or just have more light. Those things usually run for several hours, which should be good enough for the evening people (after all, who's going to be looking for a book at midnight?), so no need for a switch. Great cause! Good Luck. -Dick-
