2. What is a Little Free Library?
It is little, it is a library, and best of all, it is FREE!
It is on someone’s front lawn, in a park or at the beach, in front of a business or school, really anywhere – accessible to anyone looking for a good book.
It follows the motto – “take a book, leave a book”
It can be officially registered by the Little Free Library organization – if so, it will have a plaque.

3. A Little Library History
In 2009, Todd Bol built the first little free library on his front lawn in Wisconsin to honor his mom, who was a teacher.
People loved it! They borrowed books, returned them, and brought new books to share with the neighbors.
It became so popular, that Todd started a non-profit with the goal of having 25,000 libraries around the world – 10x the number of public libraries that Andrew Carnegie built in the 1800’s.
Today, there are over 40,000 registered Little Free Libraries in all 50 states and over 70 countries.
