What is a Little Free Library?
A Little Free Library is a community book exchange box. It belongs to everyone, and everyone is free to use it! The motto of Little Free Libraries is “take a book – leave a book.” Visitors are encouraged to take books home to enjoy. All the books are free and there is nothing to sign-up for and no strings attached. It is up to everyone to keep Little Free Libraries full! Visitors and volunteers are asked to bring books to leave in the Little Free Library so that someone else can enjoy a good read!
