Little Free Libraries, like this one in Park Hill, went from one Wisconsin man’s novelty in 2009 to an international movement. (Helen H. Richardson, Denver Post file)
Re: “Little Free Libraries take summer reading to the streets (and yards),” July 11 Home story.
Thank you for the article on Little Free Libraries. As one of the stewards of a Little Free Library on Franklin Street (which features an image of local birds), I’d like to reiterate that one of the most important components and byproducts of these libraries is community building. This is encouraged on the LFL website, www.littlefreelibraries.org, which also includes other helpful free information.
In our case, neighbors met neighbors they’d never encountered before, as everyone made contributions to creating our unique container, from design, painting and carpentry to books and volunteering their yard. We love our Little Free Library and are thrilled when anyone takes or leaves a book.
