The Little Free Library

The Little Free Library is a community-driven initiative promoting literacy and a love for reading. Typically resembling small, decorative houses, these free-standing structures contain shelves of books that anyone can take or leave. They are often placed in neighborhoods to encourage sharing and foster a sense of community. Founded in 2009, the project aims to increase access to books, encourage reading among all ages, and build connections among people. With thousands of locations worldwide, Little Free Libraries serve as a grassroots movement supporting the idea that everyone should have access to literature and knowledge.
