Throughout the U.S., little box-like structures are popping up in neighborhoods, parks and school – anywhere people gather – to offer free reading material.
For many, those little boxes packed with books hold the key to promoting literacy for children and adults who otherwise may not have access to a library.
Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization based in Hudson, Wisc. that aims to expand book access through a network of volunteer-led little libraries. The first library was built in 2009, but today there are more than 100,000 registered Little Free Libraries in all 50 states and 108 countries.
