In 2009, Todd Bol built the first Little Free Library as a memorial to his mom. Five years later, this simple idea to promote literacy and encourage community has become a movement. Little Free Libraries--freestanding front-yard book exchanges--now number twenty-five thousand in seventy countries. The Little Free Library Book tells the history of these charming libraries, gathers quirky and poignant firsthand stories from owners, provides a resource guide for how to best use your Little Free Library, and features color images of the most creative and inspired LFLs around.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Love this book! submitted by sara on August 27, 2015, 4:11pm This book is very well written and organized. It tells you everything you need to know about starting a little free library including building instructions and what to do if your library is vandalized or all your books are taken at once. Also, there are lots of photos of libraries and storied of the people who built them.
