Little Free Libraries

July 26, 2016  •  2 Comments

This replica of a British phone booth sits prominently in the lawn of my friend Linda's home in Seattle. It was built by her son Sean, and is part of the worldwide network of Little Free Libraries. Their purpose is ...

To promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity and wisdom across generations. There are nearly 40,000 Little Free Library book exchanges around the world, bringing curbside literacy home and sharing millions of books annually.

Last fall we saw this library in Minnesota that matched the historic building nearby and contained an abundance of books in Swedish.

Karen, it was setting on a post, and with the grass surrounding the base, it did indeed give the appearance that it was floating.

Love! ... Why does it look like it's floating in space? (Am I missing something?)
