What is a Little Free Library?
It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where neighbors share their favorite literature and stories. In its most basic form, a Little Free Library is a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up a book (or two) and bring back another book to share. The Little Free Library on Lane campus is located in front of building 27.
Benefits of the Little Free Library
- Promotes literacy and love of reading
- Cultivates community spirit
