Local Little FREE LIBRARIES 📚

LITTLE FREE LIBRARIES 

Little Free libraries have been popping up all over the world. It is a nonprofit organization that helps spread the love of reading. It began in 1996 in Wisconsin by the late Todd Bol. He created one in honor of his mother who died. According to Wikipedia, as of August 2018 the number of Little Free Libraries are more than 75,000 libraries in 88 countries around the world. And some of them are very close by!

There are a few in and around our community. If you know of any others that I am unaware of please let me know so I can add them to this list!
