Little Free Library

“long live the sharing economy!”

““My awesome neighbor has a free library with a doggy section.” — @Adrienne”

“The kits are stupid expensive, but you could go to your local hardware store (if it’s been a year, maybe they know you by name already 😉) and use LFL’s guides to get the materials you need to build your own. Bonus points for making it match your house. Extra bonus points for having a little neighborhood tchotchke trade station in there: stickers, keychains, cute bookmarks, a pressed flower, a cool shell. You know! Bring a cool thing, take a cool thing.”

“My awesome neighbor has a little free library with a doggy section.”

“Free little libraries are an incredible way to contribute to your community, have a reason to leave the house, or live lol. I build walking routes in NYC around the pit stops I want to make at these. A small pleasure in life. You can also purchase one through this site to put up in your community!”

“The most darling community act of love. I also love to see how people decorate theirs differently.”

“loading up little libraries with banned books is an excellent form of protest for your communities. Get a copy of 1984 into the hands of the youth”

“I can't believe it took us so long to come up with this, but I'm so glad that someone finally did! Who doesn't get excited to stumble upon a little, magical box full of books that are there for the taking? Leave a book, take a book, spread the joy of reading and learning!”

“Unlike in other cities I’ve lived in the LFL game in Portland is strong. Especially in nicer neighborhoods (obviously). I never pass one by without checking what’s in it.”
