“Books. They are lined up on shelves or stacked on a table. There they are wrapped up in jackets, lines of neat print on nicely bound pages. Then you, the reader comes along. You open the book jacket and it can be like opening the gates to an unknown city or opening the lid of a treasure chest. You read the first word and you're off on a journey of exploration and discovery." ~ David Almond

What is a Little Free Library?
It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. 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) and bring back another book to share.

“Reading books is one of the most valuable things in my life. I think a book is equal to a treasure.
I hoped to share that feeling with my neighbors—that’s the reason I wanted a Little Free Library.”
