Little Free Library

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” —Dr. Seuss

Take a book. Share a book. It’s a pretty simple concept that has swept the nation. The Little Free Library was a program that started to help children who may not have regular access to books. Now, the Little Library program offers free books to both kids and adults!

In neighborhoods throughout the world (91 countries to be exact!), individuals are setting up free little libraries in their front yards, community spaces, and outdoor parks where people can either take a book or share a book. There are no fees to borrow a book. If you are lucky enough to have a personal collection of books, consider donating any gently used and loved books to your nearest Little Free Library. Below are our 4 favorite little library designs.

The community of Little Free Library locations is growing, with over 90,000 libraries up and running. Take a search through their World Map below and find your closest library. Find your local Little Free Library and send us a picture the next time you visit.
