Little Free Libraries dot the south-side from Greenwood to Bargersville and beyond. A Little Free Library is a “take a book, return a book” free book exchange. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common version is a small wooden box of books. Anyone may take a book or bring a book to share. These tiny libraries have such a great feel of community and are so fun for the kids to pick out whatever book they want. My children are always so excited to see one because you never know what type of books you will find inside! We keep a small tote of books in the car to share so we are always ready for a little library visit!
Little Free Library book exchanges have a unique, personal touch. Visit one near you today to see what favorite books people have shared in your community.
