Little Free Libraries remind me that literacy can start anywhere, beyond the classroom. A spark of curiosity towards a Little Free Library can lead to an even bigger spark of imagination from a book.

The Little Free Libraries do more than just share books, they create connections. Neighbors leaving notes inside books, turns reading into a shared experience. How inspiring to see something so small bringing people together and strengthening their community.

I heard a story about a little boy who struggled with reading and had no books at home. One day, he found a Little Free Library and chose a picture book. Reading soon became something he loved. It’s amazing how something so small can make such a big impact.

Did you know that the first Little Free Library was made from a scarp piece of wood from an old garage door?
In 2009, Todd Bol used his love for books to inspire him to create a little red schoolhouse full of books, becoming the first Little Free Library!

The "Little Free Library" movement is built on trust; you take a book or leave a book at no cost and there's no rules to follow.
Although it feels small, it really speaks volumes. What if something as small as a box is bringing our communities together?
