The Little Free Library
the United States, more than 30 million adults cannot read or write above a third grade level. Anyone can start a Little Free Library! Ideal locations would have significant foot traffic and would be visible to those passing by. You can build your own structure or buy one from the organization’s website. There are no set rules as to what your library has to look like, so make it as traditional or vibrant as you want! Though it is not required, it is recommended that hosts register and purchase a charter for their library in order to gain access to a network of benefits. You can even have your library listed on the Little Free Library mobile app and web site. Make sure to tell your friends, family, and neighbors about your library; the more people who support the library, the better it will do. You may want to explore and donate books to other Little Free Libraries nearby. By supporting other locations, you encourage people in your community to visit and enjoy the book exchange! Have a Free Little Library that you love? Share it with us on Instagram by tagging @annapolis_moms. We are excited to see all of the unique libraries!
