I enjoy making predictions. Ever heard of Little Free
Libraries? Right here, right now I predict they’re about to crop up in
neighborhoods all across the country. You’re going to see them on road trips,
on the way to book club, and even during a quick trip to town.
My friend, Kate Rich recently joined in with her
neighborhood to establish a Little Free Library. Kate and her neighbors were
excited to spread the Little Free Library’s mission to help promote literacy
while building a sense of community.
Here’s what Kate had to share about her experience so far…
“The Little Free Library has been a big hit in our neighborhood!
It's been so nice to connect and visit with our neighbors while talking about
books. We've gotten a lot of great feedback from adults and kids. They always
start off by saying how cute it is and it is such a neat idea. Most people walk
away finding a book that they are excited to read!”
Fun fact: We also recently saw a Little Free Library near a
lake where we vacationed in northern New England last week.
What do you think of this
what-I’m-sure-will-become-a-major-trend? I think it’s brilliant!
Please contact me if
you’d like me to send you a copy of either of my books to include in your
Little Free Library and I’ll do my best to share The Disappearing Key & The
Flower Girls love.

We live near a university and there is one near campus. It's in an old red phone booth. It's very cute. I've left copies of my books there.
ReplyDeleteLove the phone booth library! I better start carrying extra books in my car. Great tip, Julie!
