Every time I happen upon a Little Free Library, I can’t help but smile. I’m lovin’ on these adorable little book boxes. What a great way to build a sense of community and a love of reading!

The Little Free Library is basically an easy and fun way to share books with neighbors. Take a book, leave a book. It’s that simple. You can even leave a little note too if you want to. And there’s no rule about age categories. 16 copies of The Very Hungry Caterpillar cluttering floating around your house? Drop one in the box for the littlest Little Free Library visitor. And just imagine the fun of discovering what’s there with your little reader.

These charming little libraries are cropping up everywhere, and chances are there’s one near you. If not, start your own! Little Free Library sells pre-made mini-libraries or will show you how to build your own that you can turn into one-of-a-kind works of art. Just check some of these out (ooooh, ahhhh…).

Join the worldwide Little Free Library movement. It’s bound to be a page-turner.
