Use Them To Pack Light And Read Heavy

While on my travels, I found Little Free Libraries to be little miracles. I can leave my house with 4 books, (two to read and two to give) and return home having read 10 and have 4 new books for my collection. I still would of have been able to give 4 books away to others that share a love of reading. I have read cute little messages in them and even found bookmarks left for someone to enjoy. Something I love to do is get free bookmarks from libraries from one state, and leave them in a book in another state, for another person.

Free Little Libraries Can Be A Legacy And A Way To Remember A Loved One

I am a part of the facebook group for the LFL. There, people share the new libraries they have registered. Sometimes they also speak of the loved one they created the library for. Families, clubs, and churches use it as a project.

Homeschoolers, this is a wonderful chance to connect with other homeschooling homes. You can create a graph and allow your pupils to generate graphs relating to your library detailing genres of most interest and track inventory.

Start My Own Library!

This will take you through the steps. It may take some start-up cash, but not much to create something that will be a priceless piece of your community and others. I have taken detours to a city while traveling just to hit a LFL and leave a book, take a book.  Please visit the official website to see updates on fees. If you feel ready to go, here are the steps:

1. Build or Buy your little Library (click here to shop or see items to get ideas and build)
