The Little Free Library Book
"Take a book. Return a book." 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 global movement. Little Free Libraries—freestanding front-yard book exchanges—now number twenty-five thousand in eighty 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 delights readers with color images of the most creative and inspired Little Free Libraries around.
