I ran across an article about "Little Free Libraries" in the newspaper recently and just had to share this wonderful idea!
Todd Bol has a dream - to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide, to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations, and to build 2,510 Libraries - as many as Andrew Carnegie - and maybe even surpass that number. His vision became the "Little Free Library" project.
Lovely small houses have been erected worldwide. Each little library is given a number and an official sign and then stocked with a variety of books. Readers are encouraged to leave a book for every book that they take. People are encouraged to leave a message inside the books which they trade. What better way to meet people and share a love of reading?
What a lovely idea! Especially for kids, to inculcate a love of reading and sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love this! This is so great for the kids that have no way to get to the public library. Or the kids that have no library to go to.
