In cities all around the country, Little Free Libraries are appearing, offering neighborhoods their own way of sharing books and connecting with neighbors. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two or three), and if they choose they can bring back another book to give away.

Share books; re-use; get to know neighbors; enhance the community
Group Size
Materials
Make or purchase a box on a post. It must be weatherproof and open and close easily. It's best to have a clear door so the contents can be displayed. Fill the box with books - soon others will add to them. Go for variety - children's books, how-tos, novels, poetry . . . Include a small notebook and pen so people can write comments and brief book reviews.
Set Up
Refer to and register with Little Free Library As a senior center, day care center, emergency shelter or other public spaces if your team can erect the library in front of their facility.
Directions
Include a Little Free Library brochure.
Debrief
Enjoy the neighborhood interactions.
