Start Your Own Little Free Library

by Reporter Georgiana Readhead, Homeschool

Have you heard of the concept of a Little ree ibrary A ittle ree ibrary is a box lled with books; the concept is take a book or share a book. My family put one up in our neighborhood recently! It was a lot of fun to organize!

First I got in touch with my neighborhood’s A ome wners Association to ask if I could have permission to install the library. nce got permission, my family had to order, paint, and assemble the library to the library’s post. y family used paint stain to protect and seal the library wood and post.

When the library was painted, it was time to install it! We went down to our neighborhood park with our neighbor and dug a hole in which we installed the ittle ree ibrary. nce the library was installed, we had to tell all our neighbors, so we organi ed a rand pening for the library t was a lot of fun irst, we designed and printed yers which we put on all the neighbor- hood mailboxes. Then we made a big sign and arranged some decorations to draw attention to the library. nce e erything was ready, it was nally time for the opening! We showed people the library, asked if there were books they wanted to see in the library, and found volunteer library stewards that will help us to make sure the library stays clean, neat, and well-stocked with lots of good books. We even handed out personalized business cards!

I really loved meeting some new neighbors. I really hope I can see them again! I hope that the community will take away a bigger love for reading and they will all think of the library as their own. It was a lot of fun to be part of and the library seems like a success!
