The Little Free Library

Whether a box of Crayola Crayons, a rocket to the moon, or a Cape Cod style house, a Little Free Library is a community treasure. The first Little Free Library was built by Todd Bol in 2009 in Hudson, Wisconsin. He decided to honor his late mother – a teacher who loved books – by building a box to house books to share with others. From that small act of generosity born of grief, the Little Free Library movement began. Today, it is an international movement with Little Free Libraries in over 70 countries.
